Shadows + Dancing

I watch the lone cat
Skulking Fearful Accusing
And
Bruising...
For a fightÂ
Her black streak edgy
BalefulÂ
Spirited
Yet weak
Wanting NeedingÂ
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!!
Thanks so much Max...sorry for late reply love x
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 ❤Â
Thanks Gwen, I always appreciate your perspective and comments my friend...hugs xxx
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
