waking the shabti

you taught me how to love the sun
like a tawny Egyptian cat

now beyond the dark still Nile
two or three stars and one red

black silhouettes of soundless rats
cruise the wet sandbars below

narrower eyed I look to the moon
borrowing less and less amber

I reintroduce myself to the night
the cat more and more its color
