(from "a cave")
a cave
with lively bats
those covetous eyes
fat sly claws
greenish bellies
full of sour old pride
vice
or stupidity
the only knife
that can be embedded in their hearts

Mine, says the cat, putting out his paw of darkness.
My lover, my friend, my slave, my toy, says
the cat making on your chest his gesture of drawing
milk from his mother's forgotten breasts.
The Cat
Marge Piercy
