an empty bedroom
on the lawn he is lying
full moon hangs above
dull ghostly feline
rolling over bites
widowers wounded left hand
Daniel

Offered palm? Buddha? I was picturing vegetation.

melanie, don't give up now.
problems: 2nd line should read widower and hence 8
syllables.
why 'mistress'? cat is clearly a member of his
household, ie his cat? of course buddy wants us to
think of muriel. but not a mistress.
i love your use of palm instead of hand. the tender,
vulnerable part. and there's a buddha suggestion
here. the last line is excellent.
