The Cat On the Doorstep


The Cat On the Doorstep


 

The cat on the doorstep

scurries Off

intO a bush

 

cLack!

the door opens

A man enters


 

‘Hello’ a woman cries wiTh

out a rEply

 

Turning the corner she finds


 

A man unfamiliar

‘Who are you?’

The woman echoes down the hall

 

The man like the cat on the doorstep

 

Scurries

 

But not to a bush but to the woman

 

A scream and a squelch


 

And the man walks out

 

Closes the door

 

And pets 

The cat on the doorstep
