Coffee cup in tow,
The cold becomes you.
Cradled soft in hot hands,
You are my pigeon:
Cooing as I eat you
Chunk by feathery chunk,
Gnaw your rafters raw, and
Tie your ribs into knots
Like cherry stalks with my tongue.
The feet go last, succulent toe bones.
I snap you into bits as you, shrinking,
Sweep your curdled remains
Into the gutter and away.
I suck my fingers clean and
Sharpen my teeth anew.

Horrrible. Sorry. You know what I mean. Makes me think of my mother's cat I pefer love poetry but that's not all there is to life now is it? There was a dove I call Daniel because he hid away in the cat sandbox I've got a photo.

Ok quite good Morwenna! Nolan &

Cats are so sweet, yet commit atrocities!
