You see, I have one more bullet left. It just sits waiting alone in its last chamber. It has a name; it’s called Rejection. You died once; I killed you. But if you’ve been planning to resurrect in your newly found flesh, just to come my way, that last sound you’ll hear was from theContinue reading “A Black Cat Moment”

A Black Cat Moment
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. The friction underneath them energized her confidence. Calmly, she crawled her way up and up, and with each passing moment, she saw herself grow stronger andContinue reading “A Black Cat Moment”
A Black Cat Moment
I see a king wearing his crown, sitting on a cloud, not wanting to come down.
A Black Cat Moment
I found a paper bag the whistling wind blew my way. It had no handle, no hold. It was empty inside, no purpose, no fold. I decided to pick it up from where it had been flown and walk with it to the market. We went up and down the vegetable and fruit aisles andContinue reading “A Black Cat Moment”

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