Joan's Valentine

My cat realizes a relationship
With a human cannot be
An entirely healthy thing
I know she sees in me
So much dependency and keeps
A certain emotional distance
My aura crowded with
so many complicated lives
She struggles to unravel
But not too proud to lick my toes
She knows what flesh is for
What must be loved and eaten
She has her tender side
And sleeps like angels nesting
