the world is all tilted…
i see you are troubled,
but i do not understand…
nevertheless
I AM
here.
The party’s over?
don’t be silly!
the world is a glittery place –
baubles may roll – ribbons may rustle –
LIFE is a party –
pounce!
this morning there was a small unknown bug in my shower –
well unknown to me,
as in i knew not what kind of bug,
as in i had no name for em/ver/xem/hir/per/hum –
for what care i what gender you are –
that is your business.
and while you may be cute…….
i do not shower with strangers.
i miss being small
and enfolded in your arms.
and You are enfolded in the stars……..
oh wait…
thank heavens!
i am still small.
they want a kitten as soon as i am dead. that is exactly what she said.
but i am not yet old – i am only eight –
and i know you don’t want to wait.
so get a kitten NOW, for heaven’s sake.
and we both can love you.
the lights are lit
and houses shine
and trees sparkle for a short time
with electricity and memories.
and here You are,
but why that collar?
and why the lies?
Listen and train –
relationships are made with communication not pain.
So You come sauntering in the door –
smelling of perfume???
whose could it be?
it is not the tree moss damp fern pine needle of your usual romps…
Oh if you could only tell me….
I would say how wonderful
that you allow yourself
to
be
loved!
