Cats Of The Alley

Cats Of The Alley

In the backs of houses

I'd soon discover,

likely to become an admirer,

because I cannot come

to call myself a cat lover.

Late at night

staring out the window darkness,

imagining....all those creatures 

roaming nightly, 

a dozen

pairs of shining yellow eyes

peer right back at me.

These feral instinctive animals 

I find at times so odd,

gathered by the openings

with a certain look on their faces

and in that look 

it makes them appear so alone;

Day in, day out

watching them strive 

their alley habitat 

wondering......

wouldn't they prefer a master, 

who provides food 

and a warm comfy home.

Thanks TT. The inspiration comes from my neighbor who has anywhere from six to a dozen cats in her backyard and of course they always roam all over mine, and the summer time wooh! That is one stinky ass backyard. Im more of a dog lover but I do have a bit of admiration for cats because of their alpha-ness to them. I do know when they leave dead animals it is an offering of thanks which is pretty interesting. They do get on my nerves at times but after five years of coexisting with them im over it. Peace brother.

Delve with me

the frontal the temporal

We’ll Come Around

I hate when we don’t talk
Never meant to say that
Trying to accept it’s someones fault...

Life

A good morning,
to struggle opening the eyes wrestling the bed blankets away….
It’s flooring...
