Let me down one cat a time:
- the cat that wakes me by sitting on my face
- the cat that ignores me
- the cat that pushes vases off of tables
- the cat that was once magic but now just lies around and gets fat
- the cat that kills birds out of irritation at their wings
- and the cat that disappears in the middle of a sentence
like a body flung from a bridge while the soul
carries on, oblivious,
yowling about the goddamn hunter’s moon.
