Untitled

I dreamed of a long-haired cat

In my childhood yard.

He hid in a deep abyss

Together with other cats

With my present cat

But the magical one was white

Like uncorrupted snow,

Persian

Bearing bedazzled fangs.

I found him near a made-up space

Where a coconut tree thrived 

But in my dream the edge of a cliff,

A busy street,

A grandma that wasn’t grandma,

A child quite ill, contagious.

Run, run, avoid the cars

Go to an attic I never had

Unknown house.

A chicken nugget I ate

While others through a window laughed;

I thought it flirting.

A classroom, full of rebellious kids,

My high school, my mom, a cat;

The cat followed, it knew when I looked at him

But I escaped every time

Just by fearing the touch of it.
