Poem - A Shadow-eating Cat, Poetess - Kim Bom-seo (South Korea)

 


A Shadow-eating Cat                    

Kim Bom-seo 


A cat

A cat is eating its own shadow scorched by the moonlight


I don't know if it stopped crying

I don't know if it forgets how to cry

In its curled up,

Until the shadow turns olive again 

It must be doing that


This foolish thing faced with solitude



It doesn't need a house or temple

It across the walls and walks around the roof like nothing 

Like it broods freedom and abandoned 

Pity or guilt may have been summoned with reckless


Like me in similar circumstances
