Spilled Milk

By Crush_With_Eyeliner

Drink milk.

Kitten's paw;
grey-ish
blur;
red and
buzzing.

When I get 
home
I will
play with
the cats
for
hours.

It will
(inevitably)
be lost
on them.

On myself,
as well.

    I would have just said, "grey" as opposed to "grey-ish" but otherwise and regardless, what a lovely piece

    God does not subtract from the life of a man, the days spent fishing (old Cuban saying). Perhaps something similar afoot here with the kitties? Thank you for this.

    The title is so fitting, makes you take a double take at the end. You can view it two ways, an artful piece or a freezeframe of a night well wasted.
