FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

i just asked,
just being a cat,
a curious cat,
but i didn't know
that my being
a cat can kill
a pink-feathered
owl like you,

and it was your
anger that killed
you. Not my
curiosity.
i just asked
and you may
not even answer.
Then you said
' i pretty well know
you."
Hoping that it
will hurt.
i choose not.
i just ask.
