chatoyant

i learnt a new word today:
chatoyant - to shine like a cat's eye
and i knew immediately what
to do with this shimmering and lustrous word:
break it up and 
plaCe its letters on a dark road so 
that the different 
facets of the syllables 
catch the smallest 
ray of light and show 
the way to the 
fluorescent heart of this poem
and make your own heart fill out with
radiating eyes that will see the cat all the 
way from its eyes to its very tail
