Inner Kitten
I didn’t draw tonight! Too too tired.
inside of me is a tiny kitten, shivering
it only eats hugs and chocolate
it must be well fed
it eats every thirty minutes
if it doesn’t get its food
it starts to see monsters
In the shadows on the walls
it shuts its eyes and imagines
and if you let it alone too long
it panics.
here kitty kitty
don’t be scared
these monsters you see
are just your own shadow
this thing with claws
that’s you
this thing with horns
that’s you
this red wall
that’s you
all of it is you
but it’s no use
talking to a kitten
when all it really understands
is hugs and chocolate.

Sarah, love this! I sense I have an inner kitten as well. Of course, it keeps my inner child and inner bitch company. Damn, sometimes it’s awfully crowded in here. Hugs and chocolate settles everyone down! Mona

Haha, that’s true, hugs and chocolate work on the kid AND the kitten AND the bitch! Not so good for the inner skinny person though…
