Before i Fall

it's about a cat. and a fishtank. never a good combination. REVIEW IT?

nose pressed against glass

i wonder.

how?

they taunt me,

tails sweeping.

back and forth.

their golden scales

catching my eye.

sniff.

the smell...

intoxicating,

gloriously so,

but how?

perhaps if i stretched,

and caught a sweeping tail.

just one.

one will do.

i look away from glittering bodies,

and set my eyes on a new destination.

up.

and up i go.

my tail flicks vigorously,

excitedly, from within a fern i watch.

wait.

closer

they glide towards me.

i can already taste it.

silently i reach out.

the fear in their eyes.

they know.

no!

a fatal grab

for just one snack.

i know i have failed.

even before

i fall.
