Walk in the rain to the foot of the big oak
The grass curves over its roots story book;
Alice in Wonderland, Day of the Triffids,
The black cats
Eyes draw me back in
And remember again where I am

Acknowledgment
Understanding, its posture
Its shear enthusiasm
Brushes past my right and left leg
Again
A Piercing stare
Rains upon my soul
Human no, but cats eyes
Yearn humanesque
without discreet

Confusion hints its gaze
As I put the coin down, lift into my arms
This soaking wet purr

Thinking life
On the flip of a penny,

Inside now
Warmed up
Eyes now closed
Check for life
Blow a sigh of relief
And lock the front door
Home and dry.

This really does not seem like a dark poem to me. It was very well written and expressed.

maybe the cat prevented the flip of the coin?
