No, I wasn't waiting on a bus, It's jus'
that I caught a flashing glimpse of you
as you walked Leith Walk, tail in air!
...and I stopped... dead
I stand smoking, what to do
rooted on tingling wooden legs?
...heart leaps in mouth Hot Damn
you turn towards…and then sail past
me, the unseen hue - the invisible man
Something has changed...
yes it's you! Really, could be me?
not certain if I can focus to clearly see
that coat, those whiskers, deep colours
are they yours those laced-up paws?
Yes, surely they must be!
You stop across the little lane
dare I climb that tall, invisible fence
towards a stilL Kat who sat, with back
turned to me arched in self-defence
obstruct-obliterating half a view
unfinished sacred sentence

you know I'm here'n'there
as you 2 are everywhere
| | < < < unseen > > > | |
as I am invisible now
What see you
then, if not me?
...the scars, the mark:
the DarkSpark that grew?
Do you also recall, at all do you??
...that gentle mystic Autumn breeze....
harmonious gift, interlocking trees, sunny
timeless magic, music and floating leaves
Only then came pain, fire; 'tis all true
those raging bouts of deathly blue
I fully engaged claws with you!
Sublime - Feline - Divine - Feminine
Soft vulnerable creature, dry weeping eyes
battle-weary survivor whose sorrowful cries
of pain from her youth under blazing skies
cracks open the heart each time it tries
to grasp at the deep depths of feeling
....those wounds my friend?...
I'm pounding inside by the wayside
the weight of past futility upon me
cat got my tongue!
But I see you! my inner vision is awake
today is NAMEd your DAY as you -
Precious Princess of 4 Paws
you sniff some magic in the air
swaying animatedly just over there,
independent, alive, proud that life is YOURS;
yet silent held back by Fear, greatest of all False Laws
You move off where I cannot go
and not just on account of clumsy legs
You leave me behind
up-lightened, no regret
multidimensional being of light
my gratitude has no bounds, and yet
the spell of old it now lies broken it is lifted
I, respectfullyLovingly, am no longer in your debt
