i take in a stray
cats half ripped down to their skin then healed over hairless
(he only shows the scarless sides)
we were running from faster felines
car doors don't close
and i'm all over you again
the bottoms of my feet exposed
to the alley of dogs
where you sympathize with a stray girl
who sleeps in a cage at its entrance
to protect them

the locals there are lied to and still calculate travel by foot time
the city is days away

(((i feel like my brain is caving in on itself and none of my thoughts are fertilized enough to grow. barron lands. empty, still. i try and feel for a broken place but it's all just anemia anemia.  woke up with a hard not for her))
