catshipgrin II
DeformedLion

face with a post-it note
 1
grin.
 2
cats hackles rise,
 3
but she is unfazed
 4
by this jealous turn.
 5
indeed, not a girlish
 6
grin but one reserved
 7
as the wine label teste-
 8
ments.
 9
 
 
tasty face,
 10
ponderously slow
 11
open ocean
 12
like jarlsberg- holes in it,
 13
fall through on ship
 14
into dark
 15
place,
 16
 
 
where the men have pitched
 17
forks. and the soul sings
 18
ABBA night to night-ish day.
 19
 
 
that is where my ship has gone.
 20
mast spake "you there, cat,
 21
your stomach flaps for birds decay"
 22
"yes" purrs cat. she preens,
 23
feathers gilded grey;
 24
blood oscillates to
 25
swells harmony.
 26
 
 
she, of the tacked on,
 27
keeps on tacking on,
 28
onto vile things with
 29
names like "Stew" and
 30
"Fred". cat, though,
 31
smiles to steal the
 32
out-turned grin,
 33
 
 
firelight plays upon
 34
ocean face,
 35
cat looks at me.
 36
my penis holds my hand.
