Eyes glinting in a cat, the stairs <br />Run on to my feet; <br />The door gapes wide before my eyes... <br />And suddenly I freeze <br /> <br />For through the yellow flash of light <br />Something slips into the night <br /> <br />Like smoke, an apparition grey <br />Descends with silent tread, <br />And as I turn to run away <br />Looms into my head <br /> <br />Filling me with ash and bone, <br />Burning in my breast, <br />And I, a monument of stone, <br />Am slowly laid to rest.<br /><br />Tan Pratonix<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eyes-glinting-in-a-cat/
