Catnip

Kitty cat scratching on the back door leaving rake marks on splintered wood - that's looking like your pale skin claw scarred from other alley cats. Crying from trashcans and howling sounds towards brick wall barriers that lead to warm buildings where there are always leftovers and warm hands that scratch down backs. Kitty cat stretching out on rooftops overhead to watch the pigeons flying in circles scavenging for scraps thrown like your discarded loves to the wayside without an apology.

I gave kitty cat a name.
