Midnight Chimes

Midnight Chimes

Hunters on near silent wings
pass like wisps of mist
undersides flashing briefly
in the light from the street
A gossamer spider thread
drifting on the breeze
briefly illuminated
A chromatic parabola
drawn by an eight legged artisan
A black cat on silent paws
does a double-take
At the sight of a poet
standing in slippers
listening to midnight chimes
The Great Bear
sits astride the White Lion
Rides this velvet sky
towards the promise of dawn
