Dancing on Knives
The cat
Bounded the streets of the city
Its tattered tail batting furiously
Each time its padded paws hit
The cracked pavement
In its mouth
A small bouquet of flowers
The uncut stems already slicing
Into the cat's rough tongue
The feline seemed determined for some unknown reason
Dodging cars every so often
As it made its way in the rain
Its shabby fur becoming drenched in a sea of mud
The cat looked rather unusual
On its head
Looked as if a glinting coin
Adorned it
The cat let out a terrible "MROOWL," as it heard an approaching car
The vehicle's tires screeching as it skidded along the street
It proceeded to jump up
Unintentionally slamming into a small, nearby tree
The tree's sharp branches cutting into the cat's skin as it landed
The cat grimaced slightly
Morning's light rays becoming blinding as it awoke
Feeling as if it had just been to Hell and back
Awoken to the sound of cars speeding
It stretched out its claws
Digging them into the moist ground
As it began to purr softly
Starting to think it rather had been sent
To Heaven instead
It had noticed
A note of apology wrapped messily
On the tip of its tail
From whom the flowers were intended
As well as the bouquet being gone from it mouth
Maybe now it would get some respect
It thought
As it licked, licked, licked its mess of tangled fur
Its wounds already beginning to heal
Woo. I hope you all liked it, and please leave a REVIEW. Once again, thank you all for playing with me so I don't have to play with myself.
Love,
