"UGLINESS"

Black cat

Ombra nera

of my Bad Luck

of my battered adolescence

I was feeling so near to

your bewitched Soul

your Mania to survive

your Terror in front Death

your Silent plea for Tenderness

I named you

Ugliness

with your smashed mouth

always open

drooling on me

and your crooked teeth

your knock-knees and

your large large paws

Black cat

Ombra nera

of my Bad Luck

I feel so often

like you felt then

I feel ugly and alone

Ugliness

your eyes are in my mind

I send you my caress

I miss you

I miss so much your

shimmering dark touch..........
