Poem, Cat, Vom, Unloved, Clearly Starving

Three Steps Left
January 24, 2024

father has erased me
my bowl is dry with shine
mother has forgotten
she ever has been mine

children have forsaken me
have left me all alone
now I must eat slippers
that they might atone

slippers are revolting
they make me ill inside
I’ll return their favor then
exporting empty pride
