Sometimes

Ivan Stone 1949 (Kortrijk)

Free verse
When sometimes dies
in the night
when all cats are grey.

You will find no shadow following you
You shall follow the shadow
in that night.

Feel the cold that is passing by
freezing all your hair by surprise.

Your fire is dying slowly in the deep
of that night.

Leaving you alone with a grey cat
