"Where Does the Black Cat Come From"

"Where Does the Black Cat Come From"

A Poem by NelliKong

They say cats have nine lives… but this black cat sinks its claws into my skin and they pierce through like knives… it’s like this cat is putting me on the chopping board, but not cutting anything delicious such as chives… then all of a sudden I start to break out into hives… I don’t know where this black cat came from, but it’s coming back at me with avengence, pouncing on me with full force… eating away at me, indulging in my darkness like a full course, meal.


This cat just came out of nowhere.. it came from out the shadows and stumbled upon my chair… made intense eye contact with me with this intriguing glare… but I don’t know if I should approach closer or be scarred? So… cats may have nine lives… but I only have one… maybe this cat wants to take me with them on their last one as well.

Winston Churchill referred to his depression as a black dog. Perhaps the black cat has a similar meaning.
