a hairless cat

she owned
a grey hairless
cat.
it looked gothic
with it's large
green eyes
and skin
tightly woven
around it's
small boned frame.
you couldn't
pet
this cat, or think
of it as
warm and fun.
you expected it
to spread wings
at some point
and fly
about the room.
but it wasn't
the cat that
spelled doom
for you and her,
it was something
else, that
you don't quite
remember,
the details
being vague over
time. it's the cat
though, that you
remember well.
