Scratches Virginia Salter scratches on the patio glass like fingernails against my spine grating on every nerve blackness of night creates an eeriness to their sounds intermittently they occur, many strokes than silence as I await, wondering will they return or cease will I be plagued or freed from the agony of their piercing strains or will the sounds grow deeper carving a reminder into my being that the cat is at the door © January 23, 2001 |

bump...and Sunshine, if you pop in, I had wanted more space between the last line of this piece and the rest of it...to lengthen the suspense. Are you able to edit it for me? |
