Crud&Claw

Oh sorry, I just fell

down the back of the sofa.

Got lost in all the crud

& shit I

forgot I got lost down there.

I thought I was

just a ball of cathair

& crud

for a while there.

The cathair I minded

not so much.

But the crud would

weigh me down.

Block me out.

Untethered &

in despair.

I thought I was going nowhere.

Then a

cat claw came down

& spiked

me in the

eye.

I thought I was

ready to

die.

Until,

Pulled up

from the crud

by the

claw

piercing my eye

I saw the

horizon

start to rise.

The sun breaking the clouds

I remembered

my wings.

I remembered

my soul.

I remembered how to breathe

and sing.
