What does the cat purr in your ear?


Every House Has Inexplicable Noises.

Hating Ones.

 

 

It’s a silhouette in the doorway,

Someone has come to see you,

Someone is paying a visit,

That has been paid in kind,

It’s kind of you to stay at homeless home,

Leaving open the front wound,

Silence and sloth are big virtues,

They are my sacred rights,

If it were an inspector,

He would interrogate you,

‘The moment she realized,

All that happened was only a game,

Where were you last night?’

Your alibi would be confusing,

It would be accurate mimicking you,

‘Where was I?

Between the legs of night,

I couldn’t decide which road to choose,

I recommend them both,

As you know I’m always boozing,

My choice was satisfying,

Have I spared the life of your cat?’

Empty bottles are piled in the corner,

Witnessing they would lie,

Incriminating ‘not guilty’,

It is your silent verdict,

I will be your alibi,

I’m your ally somehow,

Don’t pray for me but…

If it were a paparazzi,

He would ask you a stupid question,

If Cher is still alive,

I look like my new decoration,

Not like your torn jeans,

A ghosting hand wanders,

Let’s plan a trip together,

Gliding across black satin frills,

I’m an ideal woman,

For any man on Earth,

I am a poet,

An occupant,

A colonizer,

Living on cloud nine,

To the right of the dying world,

To the left of the unexplored,

Your place is noisy and brooding,

Raising up in the hot sky,

When you get tired of smiling,

Start walking on tiptoes,

Don’t slam the front door,

At the first opportunity run,

I will save you the best seat,

Minding only your motion sickness,

Since when you prefer an aisle seat?

You are an invincible flirt,

But for you I can be a coquette,

Before you are deadly bored,

Devouring someone else,

Seeking your next victim,

I’ll give you a quick tour,

Under the sprinkles of meteorites,

Since the cloud became white,

Local lovers have kept a tryst,

Being unfaithful to each other,

Exclusively in daylight,

Being faithful to one another,

In the hours of blind night.
