Black Cat
I threw my pen to the page,
Thinking of my wife
Animals flashed through by head
I thought of a cat.
Black and beautiful
Intelligent
Only I remembered to feed her.
Intoxicated by poison
I stumbled in the door
Her teeth took to my hand
In cautionary action.
I grabbed her throat
I got a blade
I cut her emerald eye out.
Over time, the socket healed
The mangled scars overthrew her face
She was hideous.
If I were to saunter by
Or offer her a kipper
She'd run daintily
In absolute terror.
I'm sorry.
