Eyes Glinting In A Cat Poem by Tan Pratonix

Eyes Glinting In A Cat



Eyes glinting in a cat, the stairs
Run on to my feet;
The door gapes wide before my eyes...
And suddenly I freeze

For through the yellow flash of light
Something slips into the night

Like smoke, an apparition grey
Descends with silent tread,
And as I turn to run away
Looms into my head

Filling me with ash and bone,
Burning in my breast,
And I, a monument of stone,
Am slowly laid to rest.

Yes! This speaks of her style and definitely as good as. Thoroughly enjoyed myself.

A lot of this poem is worthy of Emily Dickenson, in my opinion. I mean, kindred in style and *as good as*. I'm not precisely certain what happens (onset of sleep?) , but I have to confess, I'm not always sure after reading one of Emily's, either.
