the cat runs fast, the cat runs free

and everything it always wanted to be runs deep within

the crackled black walls it slinks down, it roams

around. tries to remember the haunted lagoon that once solaced its soul

forward and backward again, and then thereafter again,

it finds some strange moon to sleep under

some indigo-blue ocean thing to look over

some line to draw closer.
