Wild House Cat

...Little cat,
how sleek and glossy is your pelt
like a lithe Cheetah you stalk my ankles,
always ready to leap upon them,
a shared domesticity has made them

Oh Domesticity

...The snow paces itself
cold winds bear no flesh
you leave me wanting more
beyond the unkempt bed linen
Yet there is no avail
You amber along dewey paths
The air is thin
oh domesticity happy as ...

just to laugh amongst the array

you played the host cinderella

Beautiful garment he celebrated in remembrance of that jubilee

...Once soul mates, 
                the world was their oyster;
