Forgotten Ground Regained

To a Cat

O curious cat · curled like a questionasked and never · answered at my feet, your whiskers twitch · like wet wireselectrified by elements · of earth. Blood redas mine seeps slow · from fresh scarswrought in feline · forest fights.Sleep light, for life · lurks full of sudden fiends · who flash a claw then disappear · like devils, into darkness.
