The cat that let the sky go black

In the sparkle of diamond night

The moon was fool enough to let

The big cats out to prowl and play

 

No wonder it hangs now by a thread

As out of the dust from below,

Out of the belly-low-bush,

Sprang up a cat to catch,

To bring down the ball of moon

And let the night unravel…

 

Clawing, hissing, biting down

The silver thread tangled up in teeth

To scatter skies of unseamed diamonds

Letting velvet curtain drop.
