House of Cats
What you know is not enough.
Kitten steps on a wedding dress, you
will see blue glass. this
redemption stole to swallow
two lives down this
fallow path, a
cat-eye spiral gone strange.
Take south, then send
a story wise claw to the truth,
cat song in the dark.
Mark the paradox, my cat-wise friend.
The world is eternal and
ever shifting.
