Shadows + Dancing

I watch the lone cat
Skulking Fearful Accusing
And
Bruising...
For a fight 

Her black streak edgy
Baleful 
Spirited
Yet weak

Wanting Needing 
Everything
Nothing
Pleading...  Hating...
Even....

As we skirt...
We spar...
We speak...

The edges ... The parameters
The do's and dont's...
The bleak

Hissing Clawing
Shadows...
And
Dancing...

Yellow eyes
hostile
Hurting eyes
Fixed

Interventions
Rejected
Intentions
Subjected
To...

Hissing Clawing
Shadows...
And
Dancing...

Her hurting eyes
Yellow
And...
Gone

Hi Marion, wow. I have been away for quite a while. But this was simply fantastic. Love the personification and the short sharpness that pulls that scared feeling. I hope you are ok, private message flying you way!!

Hello Marion, for me this reads like an internal battle. Relentless and weary, with an inability to find sense or reason anymore. Just my take, a clever write ❤

I agree with Gwen, this does read to me as though it is an internal battle but it could also be a brief meeting with a feral cat that has wandered into your garden. I am going with the internal fight but the alternative is also there for anyone who wants to read that. Poetry done well is great — yours is fantastic xx
