The Still Night 


I wake mid-dream

the night still

as a dead cat I passed 


a mass of white fur

sprawled on the sidewalk 


weighed down 

by the cessation 

of all internal organs 


the stillness 

that will someday

seize us all


Would I choose 

its utter darkness 

over the eternal wheel 

of reincarnation?
