    <strong>Cats Dream</strong>

    How ly a cat sleeps,

    sleeps with its paws and its posture,

    sleeps with its wicked claws,

    a<big></big>nd with its unfeeling blood,

    sleeps with all the rings--

    a series of burnt circles--

    which have formed the odd geology

    of its sand-colored tail.

    I should like to sleep like a cat,

    with all the fur of time,

    with a tongue rough as flint,

    with the dry <a></a>sex of fire;

    and after speaking to no one,

    stretch myself over the world,

    over roofs and landscapes,

    with <dfn>九九藏书</dfn>a passionate desire

    to h<cite></cite>unt the rats in my dreams.

    I have seen how the cat asleep

    would undulate, how the night

    flowed through it like d<code>99ｌｉｂ.</code>ark water;

    and at times, it was going to fall

    or possibly pluo

    the bare deserted snowdrifts.

    Sometimes it grew so mu sleep

    like a tigers great-grandfather,

    and would leap in the darkness over

    rooftops, clouds and voloes.

    Sleep, sleep cat of the night,

    with episcopal ceremony

    and your stone-carved moustache.

    Take care of all our dreams;

    trol the obscurity

    of our slumbering prowess

    with your relentless heart

    and the great ruff of your tail.
