The cat


There once was a cat that had a black spot on the snout and
an old attic near the sea
with a window in one step from the blue sky. If I was playing the guitar


the cat purred and a star

then close down I smiled and he came back up.

Now I do not live there any more
everything has changed I do not live there any more
I have a beautiful house
beautiful as you want.

But I think about a cat
who had a black spot on the snout
in an old attic near the sea with a star
now I can not see ...
