Pawsome:

In my comfortable darkness, in my favourite pain- I wallow.
My shadows screech, my memories taunt in well rehearsed choreography.
All is perfectly gloomy in the land of self.

She approaches unimpressed, round body wedging light into stygian mood.
Like many of her species she has a warehouse full of wings earned, through the virtue of mere existence.

In our house, the good in life is often traced to generous snoring and the presence of scratchy paws poking side and backside. Personal space is ancient history, a myth no longer relevant or anticipated.

Balls become priceless treasure, as non human culture bleeds into the human condition. The feel of the smooth round rubber in hand weaves itself into memory, bringing back so many lost companions in every new throw.

No matter how ghoulish the mask, she always finds the pearls hidden from view.
In the cool evening air she catches magnificent scent of adventure. One glance, then she is off in high grass. I discard the tangles of the broken, following the wisdom etched in trail of paws.

Wonderpurr:

In the land of somewhere, past the mountain of Orphanedsock, she sleeps.
We, the inferior species, are left out of the plans for the universe; at least most of the time. The clues lay in the patterns of things cleared from tables and the perfect placement of regurgitated hair.

Those who find enlightenment in the frequency of her song, and healing in the pulse she emanates, master life in creative ways. Everything ties up nicely, if one accepts that she calls the shots and we are just the distraction to keep away the bourgeoisie.

As I drift into slumber she comes to claim me, taking up residence in the curve of my neck and shoulders. Her claws, unsheathed, rest lightly on skin as steady reminder of the love that brands me hers. Softly she washes the ugly from my day as the vibration of her purrs rock me to sleep painting my world wonderful.
