[Critique Group 1] Sally's November submission

[Sally Rosenthal]

THE CHOSEN

 

 

Knowing I need her, she will  

come to take me home,

Away from this place of steel and stress.

 

Others of my kind here

Curl up tightly with eyes closed.

Some hiss and extend sharp claws,

Fear hiding their true natures.

 

Feline angels from her past

Whisper of her preparations

For my rescue and homecoming.

Catnip mice and jugs of litter

Fill a corner of a room

Just as I will fill a space

Carved into her heart by recent loss.

 

She knows cats choose their humans

And that I await her arrival.

My head resting against my cage,

I will see her when she comes,

And she will know me by

The loving, rumbling purrs

Welling up from my soul's depths.
