Flight Of Snow
I saw my mother, moving her mouth
And when I did not respond, she took me out
And started teaching me things, movements with her tail
Actually, it worked out pretty well
And then the tom came
With his coat of flame
And the gray she-cat
Her leg is bad
They move their mouths at my sweet mother
She doesn't seem to happy, that's not good, oh brother
And now the fire-colored tom is doing something, waving his tail and noiselessly shouting at me
Because of that tail wave, I come closer, wondering what he was doing, and gee
He did it again, that mouth moving thing
I'm starting to think: is he trying to silently sing?
Then the bad-legged cat moves her mouth at my mother
Talking to her in some secret code, telling her something or other
And then mother glares at the cat
She looks like she's staring at a carrion-place rat
She takes me into the nursery
She doesn't talk, I guess in this world silence is key
She just grooms my coat and sets me down
I wonder what I did to turn her smile into a frown
But now, I'm too tired, it's time to sleep
But the image of moving mouths, in my head I keep
When I open my eyes again
It's morning time, and I hear the chirping of a wren
I'm older now, and when I wake up
I want to go outside, not sleep like a lump
So I start playing by myself
All the other kits keep to themselves
And then, everyone scatters
I guess that it's an important matter
But nobody ever told me to go
So I keep playing by myself, as you now know
And suddenly, I'm in the air!
Something has grabbed me, something that's going to take me to its lair
My mother is running, and I try to cry out
I can't hear it, so I guess I didn't shout
Mother grabs me, pulling me down
But I don't land, the thing carrying me must weigh pounds
Then she lets go, and I feel despair
Why did you leave me? I thought you were fair
So I start crying, my heart ripped apart
You left me, dear mother, you broke my heart
I am deaf, now I know
Why else can't I hear the bawling, my tears falling like snow?
My flight is almost done
Goodbye, world...death, here I come
