Unmoving Valentine

She's a loner outdoor cat
Whether it's cold or hot
But when I go out into her world
She runs to sit in my lap
Weaned too early and
Thrown out in the alley
Her trust was broken in two
But she sits and stares at me
With ambivalent adoration
Lover and betrayer her eyes say
Begging a simple question
Who are you for me to love
Her wisdom is the silence of a monk
My only purpose is not to move
