Female Feline For Fun


The cat is in the bag,
the cat is on the street,
the cat wants the cream
that you refuse to eat.

She'll scratch your hand,
she'll purr at your leg,
looking up at you with eyes,
scary and enticing.
Do you feel mesmerised?
Do you see the emptiness
behind the green grey light?

Do you want to pet her?
Do you want to lock her up?
Does she confuse you,
because you want to touch her,
but you still don't trust her?

The cat is always alone,
climbing walls, searching for prey.
The cat is in your house,
tied to your loyalty,
tied to your tamed ribbons,
tied to her seasonal litter,
kitties fed by her suffocated breasts.

The cat is always free,
dreaming of long gone
forest fire days,
when noone judged her,
when noone asked her who she was,
when the pleading of death
in their eyes
was all she ever saw
before she devoured
and cherished them,
lovingly, hopefully...

mithe: it represents the female, particularly that side of the female that is difficult to decipher, control or define.
every woman is made up of the angel and the devil, the virgin and the whore, the domestic and the free. it kinda goes back to the beginning of civilization when the female species was not moulded in any such categories.
but then again, it could just be about cats as well :P

Mithe-The mystery in the cat is the only thing that keeps her keepers on toes.
