While raking the yard
I wonder what I might
Write about today
My neighbor’s black cat
Big Boy
Tears across my path
And I know
Come on
A black cat is just a black cat
So as I trip and stumble
Falling face forward
I throw my arms out
See myself embracing
Eternity yet
I survive bruised and bloody
Often amazed at how
Writing inspiration strikes
I limp to my computer
