The cats will know
(quoting Cesare Pavese)
Among flowers and sills
the cats will know it.
Cesare Pavese: The cats will know
A silver moon rises
drawing
a diaphanous path
on the ocean
Only a lonely cat
leads our way
tonight.
The wind moans
and whispers its ancient story
Other days will come
and
it will be the time
of missing words
A time when
all our memories
go missing
one by one
in the winter silence.
