feral


yeah, she's like that sometimes
crazy and chaotic
like an encyclopedia of psychoses
neatly stocked on heart strings
for each coming season:
some for the summer rains
more for the fickle spring days
one for each falling leaf
and a couple for winter storms.

yeah, she does that sometimes
she pushes all your buttons
to see what cracks under pressure
who's going to tap out first?
don't bother, she can't be tamed:
wild stallion running the planes
of distilled consciousness
and altered dreams
in the obstinate pursuit of self.


she is a feral cat
so can you really blame her
for changing her mind often
or for the times she never does?
