Bed With My Cat and A Chocolate Bar
*Written for the Ten Lines From Ten Poem Poetry Contest on Poetry Soup
My tongue, the warmth, my eyes close again.
I breathe steady while I blink consciously,
chocolate on my breath, in my underwear, fresh lipstick on.
You’ve fallen in love with me. You told me.
In my heart, you are my black-eyed pea.
Night falls electric blue, then
I go to bed alone – every night.
My little fire of an orange cat will crawl onto me –
reach out and press my face with his paw.
The birds always at my window,
The machinery of life is too much,
I fall like this out of this world into the darkness — thank you.
