Cats Die from Fight Songs by Gerfety

I break light like the water to star shaped eyes of the slaughter
there's no place I'd rather be than the old house
quiet and empty in mothers room

I shake, shimmer and shadow like kitty swims in the shallow of
dead weight memory holds her at arms length
safe and forgotten of all she's done

**8

paw prints tracking out thru the back door
cavity in the snowbank no-one ever saw you go
claw marks fucking up moms table
says she's gonna get a new one but I don't want to see it go
oh no, tragedy at the front door
I'm sorry if I made the wrong call, guess it was your time to go
streetlights never looked so unnatural
guess it must be the moon light spending everything a-glow
-
I wake severed and sober to howling out in the front yard
the engine cut oh so sudden-
I'm praying its just you purring to sleep
