Love hurts, this I know
because
I have a nervous cat
with very sharp claws.
Circling my lap
he suddenly bounds!
There must be a cat monster
who made a scary sound.
And so I sit bleeding
from multiple wounds,
asking what spooked him?
(in his mind, perhaps a large dog faced baboon.)
Wondering if I will ever be free
of the punctures and scratches
marked across both
of my knees.
When the weather is cold
I stand a better chance
of protecting my skin
with soft cozy pants.
The torture is worth it
when he does settle down,
and shares a gentle purr,
there is Love in that sound.
