Watching the cat sleep on my pillows
Afraid to get close to anyone and afraid not
to
The need of all creatures to be warmed and
touched
The girls who want dads
I think the writing is eating up myself
Preventing any togetherness with anyone
Hurting and recycling people over and over
again
How much longer?
How many more?
I held her in my arms and I didn't want to
realize
She was putting her life in my hands |
