A Black Cat Moment: A Letter from Feathers to Her Soulmate, Part 1

Printed Permission Granted by His Majesty Pluto To My Soulmate, Erinnerst du dich? Lively night birds–wild and free. Erinnerst du dich? Der Potsdamer Platz bei Nacht. Erinnerst du dich? Your brute cologne would melt me. Erinnerst du dich? Sharing palace sweets of Brach. Erinnerst du dich? Swaying, swinging, jazzing, kissing. Erinnerst du dich? The floor–myContinue reading “A Black Cat Moment: A Letter from Feathers to Her Soulmate, Part 1”

A Black Cat Moment

The simplified story showed southerners fought for economic preservation while northerners fought for economic expansion. Eventually, the curse of slavery enmeshed in the sins of those grey and blue ancestors would settle the score at its final resting place–Gettysburg. Their dead flesh received no eulogy, no casket, no white lilies, no heirlooms, and no formalContinue reading “A Black Cat Moment”

A Black Cat Moment

Dear Spying Soulmate, No. That soul contract between you and Feathers will not and cannot be resurrected. You see, the soul contract was originated from and by God, the One of the Heavens and of the Underworlds–the Creator.

I wouldn’t have been able to continue breathing if your backward dark handContinue reading “A Black Cat’s Black Moment”

A Black Cat Moment

Dear Karmic Lover, You’ve been silent lately. What’s the matter? Why are you hiding? Cat’s got your tongue? Huh? I can’t hear you. Don’t want to hear you. Don’t want to look at you. No. It’s not that. It’s your face I can’t forgive. Each time I’m forced to see your face, my soul continuesContinue reading “A Black Cat Moment”

A Black Cat Moment: An Urgent Letter to the Spying Soulmate Part I

You broke the soul contract. You know, the one you manifested a few years ago. You know, the one time you had asked the universe with a broken heart to bring to you your perfect partner. Feathers. Remember her? You manifested her. You let her go. Remember? All that spell work you did. All thoseContinue reading “A Black Cat Moment: An Urgent Letter to the Spying Soulmate Part I”

A Black Cat Moment

Dear Spying Soulmate, I know you hold a red right hand, but what you will not understand is I see now a ten of swords where your magic wand wards off words. You can’t an angel read, less cage. All utterance you rearrange puffs her soul out of each bell-jar page. Dropping into her deep,Continue reading “A Black Cat Moment”
