catmen, by bizet

miraculous cat

should have been a cat

two too many eyes staring too, too many hours

machines do not breathe
no matter how much they speak
jesus! breathe me home

you gotta rock yourself a little harder

I woke up, empty,
feeling like something had been
scooped from inside me

silence

on our hiding days
we need a friend who stays near
watching quietly.

another cool cat
