you have left the light on again
without meaning to
without meaning to
then the cat jumps up
this allure of unconditional affection
this allure of unconditional affection
tonight, his silky purr
presents as an offer of comfort;
or perhaps the animal wishes
presents as an offer of comfort;
or perhaps the animal wishes
to take something from you instead,
the thing you hold close
the thing you hold close
he stretches across your flattened, resting body
one paw on your heart
the other feels for your jugular, your blood
you can never be sure
one paw on your heart
the other feels for your jugular, your blood
you can never be sure
