the cat moves house to house


In the dim light
The cat thinks it is right
To roam the street
Moving from house to house

The sun has gone
Leaving the night to explore
The cat moves in quietly
Doing his business near the flower pots

The cat moves out
When the owner walks the door
Running away like a thief
Stealing the time of the night

The marks on the flower pots
The houseowner will not notice
By the heat of the sun and wind
It will dry up quickly

The cat moves along
Feeling proud of his handiworks
Planting his marks in every corner
Guiding him where he wants to go and return

In the house he once stayed
He still harbors the thought his mistress will return
Sniffing his way putting on his usual marks
Though the house is empty no soul to chase him away

In the dim light
The cat moves quietly along
Catching insects playing with it
In the house once he stayed
