The pattern.

Through kaleidoscope eyes

the mosaic mind follows

the footsteps of shadows

on tiled floors reflected by

stained glass hues.

The steely resolve of

wrought iron gates closes,

the earth smiles at the sky,

prays blow in the wind,

no where to be found,

and a raven perched

on a gargoyle  follows

the lines of a black cat

disappearing.... from view.

I imagine this as a flash-like reflection, maybe about the current state of word affairs. It's a blurred image but we see the shadows and dark lines framing something we all know. I'd avoid crossing that cat's path. Good write, Andrew.

A raven and a black cat. I think Mr. Poe would have liked this one.

Thank you John, Mr Poe was very good wasn't he!

I think of a really darkened version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds....or rather Cat's eyes.
a Poe-like offering...

love it.
