WINTER CAT SPRING


after the departure of winter
before the arrival of spring
at night behind closed windows
when no music plays

instead of silence:
the noise of a computer fan
the sounds of typing and clicking
and a whisper

what whisper?
boo, bee, da, boo, bee, da, da, bee, boo…
and a few words
which I cannot repeat

in front of the whisperer
on top of the piano
next to the phone
there is a cat

has he ever seen her sit there? –Never!
is she usually awake at night? –No!
and what is she doing? –Watching
over him as he types the words which I cannot repeat

boo, bee
da, boo
bee, da
da, bee, boo…

whatever the secrets! Whatever the truth!
I shall never know why she was watching over him
after the departure of winter
before the arrival of spring

  2. and a few words
    which I cannot write
    even in the dark
    even between lines
    whispering them
    over you

    very true, indeed
    i will come again...
