Rendezvous
Near the reeking garbage pile
two black cats chanced to mate
in the black of the night
merging with a thousand shadows
in dim light
Nothing seen,
but two pairs of glistening eyes
and a loud shriek
and a whining cry
as if they were in intense pain!
Was it a forced rape
or a pre arranged rendezvous
of the lovers?
Did I hear a squeal in delight
or a cry in helpless agony?
