A white feline appears
from behind a gravestone,
and saunters toward me unafraid.
Affectionately it rubs against my left foot.
It slinks and slithers
between my legs.
It follows
and mews.
lamenting mice lost,
and lecturing on birds found.
Diatribes it speaks to me,
professing it's love for attention.
I pluck it from the blacktop
into the safety of friendly arms.
A white feline purrs
as I scratch it's chin gingerly.

White Panther
The white panther pads
Alight against the grey of winter
Stalking through the cemetery
Walking there alongside me
The white panther slinks between
Sight and sound
The kind of pleas that come from cats
behind and ‘fore the stony hats
The white panther follows me aways
In fright he flees from bellowing cars
And into an alley he stealthily slips
A few parting words upon his lips
