Poem

cat man had enough forced isolation

sabbatical dreams after quarantine

entered his hermit cage in seclusion

I need time out from lockdown he promised


they told me of the psycho cat’s demise

but cats have nine lives so I can spend one

and I may use it on my free accord

face my own mask and fearless persona

fantasize about chosen solitude

beat the rat race and feline adventure

the label I hide on the wine bottle

is a wise decal of aspirations

decanting the truth into fine crystal

bodes a farewell from forced captivity


while I look at the ceiling of limits

eerie floorboard creaks near the white sand beach

sanded pine wood pining for ocean’s roar

no more footprints I can walk on my hands

balance harmony and despair for good


when he woke up deluded in night sweat

pyjama purring and soaked wet with delight

claws clenched around fistfuls of withdrawal

clattering teeth grinding out last resolve

he took a swig from his wild genie’s flask

rolled a stone in front of his caveats

crept deep into his cave and growled


untamed will had been abandoned for good

and he dwelled in emotions and chuckled

social distance is not bad after all

I just don’t want to be told what to do


it’s in my genes I’m made for concealment

contagion won’t harm be for I’m myself
