"The Right Eye Removed"



intuition guides a feline mind
to feel vain glorious 
in the poetry of dreams
stretching limits of awareness
velvet pawed 
a burnt orange 
bittersweet marmalade coat
delicious to kiss 
the point between 
the ears that listen for signs
mink stole he wears 
himself striped around my neck
finding new ways 
to purr through his dark night
into the mystery of 
his opaque opalus opallios world

his left analytical 
glistening topaz 
prehistoric amber 
shines like glass
black iris blooming
in a pool of honey 
questioning ideas 
that run through his 
greyhound strides
the right eye removed 
bone white phantom oculus
poached out by a thief 
with a pad, pen and 
surgically precise knife
drugged on strong catnip
the discarded damaged marble
thrown in a bin overnight

he works his way around 
this bad romance 
feels the colours of light 
he is sensually sincere
licking necks and ears 
and the other's eyes 
twin forest jade stones
the foreign ponds  
of something new 
holding tight

this kamikaze pilot 
flying across high rise cupboards
treasure boxes to plunder 
tricky to navigate 
he is immersed in a new life
the changing colours 
of a small heart 
with big dreams
romancing streams of 
rainbow koi seen in his mind
he is a Japanese ninja warrior
a good luck token 
protector of Moonlight
and ground zero 
the bed…that he has claimed,
all his

and he is loved
perfection in 
the damage of 
the war zone delivered
to him at birth
he is free to wonder 
and he wanders
this brave and distinguished hunter
preying with delight 
he bows on all fours

he stops still
and in the reflection 
that is left

I look at him 
and I see 

we are two 
of one mind
searching 
for the same
all along

am I her’s,
or is she mine

am I his
or is he mine

it no longer matters
old souls

we belong
in this time
