There are consequences

consequences to cat walking

~~off leash…
 
 
 
on dog beach, especially;

the spare dogs being the least of the cat’s problem

Birds are the problem.

Phoenixes, particularly.

(the wake of Immaculate Vultures)

Bred from

unbordered bonfires,

(set by dry D.O.C. drunks)

these hybrids of Fire & Spirit

have a taste for uncradled cats.

and that’s skipping the

murder factor entirely–

Crows circling nearby

> on the wings of a thousand clichés <

grimly reap

any

pray

–so long as it’s alive–

(and resistin’!)

assisted

by the grimmest raptor

still…

Portent-Us owls

& strictly messengers for

RSVP—these birds invariable lateness is a

synchronicity, as the fallout

of chronically tardy folks proves substantial.
