Nine Lives

Posted on April 9, 2013November 12, 2018 by S. Conde

Then there will be times when I go missing.

As a cat, I am.

Alone.  Dying quietly.

My preference.

Having nine lives, but only one face, everything shows.

Too hard to hide.  Best to be alone.

Licking my wounds in peace.

Healing.  Thinking. Regrouping.

Patiently awaiting the rebirth.

The next act.

nine lives, cats, cat, poetry,
Behavior : Running off to die…

    That struck me as very sad. But then again, I am a dog person…

      That you are. I love you and wish you would write more than replies and text messages.
