I dream... I am as fragile
and as malleable
as a piece of origami paper.
Fold me neatly, tear me in 2.
The blue moon smiles
and the cat's shadow leaps
across the wall,
as darkness falls into night.
Take one half:
Copy these hyperbolic words.
Fold carefully into a paper crane
and launch, fly free across the sea.
Leave half behind:
Fold into a plain paper plane
to follow flight paths ordained
across familiar skies.
The cat's whisker
is a hair's breadth out of synch
between a whisper and a whistle 2
call the dogs of night.
On paper cranes, or paper planes
draw an ellipse - your breaths and mine
across the blue silhouette
of that crazy moon.
