the cat and kitten hide




In the dark of night

The cat and kitten lie

The still shadows near the flower pots

The animals don't move at all



They know they are in the wrong

The stray cat and its kitten

They just pretend to be still statues

They just don't want to go



The sound of footsteps

It rings in the silent night

The cat and its kitten

They know they are



The trespassers

In the garden not of its own

The cat jumps away quickly

The kitten runs to hide



In the dark of night

The cat meows for its kitten

Slowly the sound disappears

Like shadows into darkness
