Joy Through Murder
****************
Mt kitten Taser is growing up fast
he has already discovered a box of
winter clothes in the closet
and made that his private den
aka bachelor apartment..
he is affectionate and social
but like all hard working dreamers
he needs his divine privacy
and he kills alot these days
he was pulling in a bird a day
for the last two weeks.
and devouring them
on the driveway in plain view of all
in one sad case feasted on a robin
as the dead birds mate
screamed at him from
an overhead wire
it must be absolutely horrible
to witness your sweetheart being
killed & eaten before yoir eyes
and there is nothing you can do
I wonder if the separation of life forms
in this world by species
is not so much determined
by differences in body
but by imaginary lines'
dividing different spheres of
concern and indifference
Taser is now five months old
and is about 2/3 of his full size
his markings are crisp and clear
he is bright eyed and agile
- clean and sure footed
- graceful and aware
- confident and cheerful
he is a handsome little red cat
a pleasure to know and love
satisfying to care for and guard
soon he will require
much less of my attention
& protections
and will break out
to make his mark in the World of Cats
he has been loved and fawned over
spared from hardship & want
created a strong self image'
and is self reliant in all the ways that matter
Taser is no suck
when the summer thunder peals
and the rain starts
Taser runs inside
he knows where he belongs
when things are rough
and most important :
he knows who loves him
and he loves them back
he knows just how hard
or gentle
to bite everybody
and never strikes out in rage
spare no quarter to dogs
but give skunks a chance
He is fit and prepared
to join the
World of Cats
