Above: The Original Draft of the Poem

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the darkness of the night,
as I look at the window,
through which shines the outdoor light,
I see the back steps’ shadow,
+++++
and the shadow of a cat,
Leslie Catherine Taylor,
who might one day hunt a rat.
My friend cleans her feline fur,
+++++
sits on an elevated
step, taking in the view from
on high, then decides to get
a new view of her kingdom.
