Firecat dream

.

.
In a dream
A firecat
Leapt from the ashes
Of white funeral cypresses
And followed the jeweled firmament
Across great moonless cycles
To Japanese shores
.

.

In the evening,
When I woke
Beyond the casement
Of my window.,
Tall wraiths of samurai
Stood
And a firecat consumed
The moon
For cycles.

I know this is only vaguely Inuyasha related, and to be honest I wrote it before I'd ever even heard of Inuyasha for a poetry project freshman year...so needless to say I eventually got better :) But hey I have a sense of humor (sorta) and I invite you all to laugh at my humble beginings.
