Marked by her yellow-black-white bands, the caterpillar inched cautiously her way up his face onto the right side of his jowly cheekbone line. Her prolegs loved its cool touch.

A Black Cat’s Black Moment
Dear Pluto, My old claws curled up. My pink lips blew bubbles. You knew I had seen too much of the sunlight’s piercing white gleam as I tried to reach to the top of that bright white ocean foam where Feathers lives.

A Black Cat Moment
When your little black, ball-shaped eyes stare at me, I know you think you see me. Your blindfold makes you believe that. Can’t you see yourself in me? Just because you have whiskers, and I have whiskers, doesn’t mean we’re the same. Mine are pointed and ready, yours fatigued and sweaty.
A Black Cat Moment
If you claim to be a Christian, you’d better know about demons. If you claim to be a Muslim, you’d better know about demons. If you claim to be a Hebrew, you’d better know about demons. If you claim to be a Buddhist, you’d better know about demons. They exist. They’ll come by your side–whereContinue reading “A Black Cat Moment”
