ANIMALS - a daily series of poems with illustrations by @bennettitalia
SAFFRON CAT’S DREAM
The cat relates to its dreams the way it relates to birds, insects, and anything else
that hums or buzzes or calls it by name.
It lives for glitter. It is a glutton for shine.
It will take the appearance of intricate movement over the actuality of inertia any day.
And yet, the cat itself seems to be unable to decide
between a life of flashy acrobatics
and one of inertia.
It operates like a wind-up toy: action and reaction, cause and effect, stimulus and reflex, Newtonian physics.
This makes its inner workings seem deceptively simplistic.
If you see a cat in a dream
talk to it: it is sure to have something interesting to say.
A cat’s mind is habitually deconstructing the world around it, frolicking tirelessly in a sea of symbols.
It watches things for meaning, though its demeanor seems to imply
that it has no interest in the meaning of things.
These poems are adapted from an art book I made awhile back. Check out the rest of the series so far, if you like:
