The silence,
Haunting light
Illuminating tunnels
Terror’s teeth.
Horror is a face
The disaster, a cat!
Smiling with sharpness
Fangs hungry for blood
Calling:
“more”.
But that’s a crazy thought
Cat curled up with stripes
Lines and lives that fade the grid
Cruelly wound around
It's branch:
A deep hum and sly laughter:
Hands on cheeks
Mouth open
Fading, languid
Grasping, gaping
Giving up -
*“we’re all mad here”
