Cat Tales
February 27, 2018
Darkness, stumbling
Howling, barking, echoing
Discordant cries
Must escape at once
No food, hungry, distressed
Cold, damp, voracious
Low humming, engine?
Silence, chatter, door opens
Someone carries me in
Open cage, people
Reluctance, dangerous place?
Bright lights, daunting, scary
Strangers, smiling faces
Food, affection, toys for me
Blanket, compassion
