There is something out there
an ominous force
an evil foreboding
a symptom at source
the rampant high grasses
of long long ago
where the threatening midges
seemingly grow
where phantom foxes
try to deter
with their cautionary bite
and that menacing whirr
a cat of my ilk
experienced to
A new found freedom
such perfection felt true
Green shoots recovery
a renaissance in view
in quiet solitude
at the advent of dew
the wake-up
call came
with its teeth in my tail
a violent foreboding
an ingenious trail
an illusory aura
a holiest grail.
I will leave by the front
in the Ivy I be
true to myself
for I am legendary
stalking has relevance
figuratively
a Cat flap is the answer
Brokering, dignity.
