Starving Sunlight

Starving Sunlight

A Poem by solitare

underneath the covers
she lies au naturel
flawlessly peach
creamed over brittle bones
sunrise peaks through delicate curtains
reflecting ivory silks
stained by pretentious perfume
the cat purrs perishing
bewitched by the frail object
spiralled securely in slumber
sunlight gushes in gratefully
whispering to her lifeless lashes
still the cat purrs imploring
its caretaker suppressed under shadows
mirroring the feline emancipated
furtive for a feast
famished by fear
frenzied for freedom
