Tom Cat



i slept with every window open
the wind howled around midnight
temp dropped quickly and it got cold..
too cold to get up and close the windows
where has the wind been?
there really hasn't been much wind this year..
not like last night.
the summer was so hot,
the wind hardly blew..
a Tom Cat moaned low somewhere in the darkness
on the prowl looking for a wife or a fight..
sirens wailed around 2:30,
sounded like a war zone for about 30 seconds
sound travels differently on the cool air..
more hollow and leaner..
