Stray Cats

Long hair, silky, black, satin,

A tiny cat followed me home.

He isn’t my usual

Plump paradise- the one who

Came through my window as I slept.

He’s small and skinny

And cries– creaks like a door hinge.

He follows me– walks me home, walks me to the door

And I run inside to fetch him some almond milk.

But when I come back

He is gone.

Rainy days always bring the stray cats back home.

Long hair, silky, black, satin.
