The Cat & I Poem by Dónall Dempsey

The Cat & I

Rating: 5.0


We prowl
around the room

the cat
& I

unable to settle
until you return

sitting on the settee
until you return

then - on the floor

(both eying the door)

it
sitting
on me

both stretching listlesly

(strange bedfellows)

yawning in synchonicity

out of restlessness
& boredom

until the turning
of a key

magically
produces you

both
cat
&
I

...purring!

Breathless 'Anticipaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaation! ' Oh, that wonderful sense of loneliness...waiting...hoping...needing....and fulfillment with just the sound of the key turning in the lock.............fulfillment!
