small animal friends: installment #2

penny, penny, quite contrary
has a burden she can't carry
always guarded, all claws bared
not sure if she's bored or scared

tuck'd under bed or coverlet
you never know if she's upset
hiding, plotting, then - ATTACK!
careful not to turn her back...

she'll come running with a purr
begging you to stroke her fur
intertwining through your legs
meowing softly as she begs

but, alas, you must be wary
i've discovered she's quite scary
with a swipe and then a flash
off she sprints, quick as a dash

leaving you with teary eyes
and bloody scratches; but be wise
for she's a princess in her heart
and you'll find she's rather smart

penny, penny, quite contrary
with your burden you can't carry
let your guard down, and you'll see
i want to love you completely

this isn't a poem, but it's really funny all the same. check it out!

interlude

what if we go?

speak the unspeakable.
it will break their hearts
and turn mine to sweet heavy lead. again.
(i don't know if it will hold. hold!)
and my boys. i hardly-

leave it. all that has become. became.
drop like a dead crusty cursing fly. fly
away.
mine.
haunt me.
familiar streets as ghosts, with buildings - faces -
and black window eyes that have seen me
these past years. seen. and heard. and felt me driving by.

what if all i've made has rotted?

what if we don't make it?

what if it hurts?
it hurts.
