Forgiveness is a black and white cat curled up on a red sofa.
August 31, 2018
Standing out among the bright liquidy color,
A yearning heartfelt face pokes out.
It’s body shaped like a ball,
Knowing it’s done wrong,
Curled up and asking for piety.
In the center of the room
It waits
Not wanting it’s master to come back in.
The redness of the sofa continues to drip
The smell continues to rot and thicken
The taste in the cat’s large moth bitter and dangerous, all the more exciting.
He is finally there.
And much to his disappointment he sees the cat.
He simply stares.
Regretting leaving her alone with the animal.
Forgiveness was not given.
