Hello Darkness My Old Friend

A poem:


As I licked the cat

Fur wound around my tongue, 

stuck, entangled, malicious

Until I retched

Writhed

Flopped about

With crystal eyes

the cat silently watched as

the mist-white fur

stole the breath from my lungs.

Sonorous howling

Ceremonious retching

silence

silence

Then, the continuous farting

of a red and blue siren

Until on a white mattress I lay.

Almost blending in,

nearly unnoticeable 

the feline foe crept

towards me

with his silver shining scythes

and ripped out 

my silk-smooth scalp. 


THE END
