Cat

You are in all my close places

You do not announce your visit

Or tell me of your intentions

You arrive uninvited

And stay beyond your welcome

You are like a cat

As selfish

As indifferent

You come and go as you please

I no longer know if you will be in my bed at night

Or gone before the sunrise

Your presence is as intangible as morning mist

And infinitely less reliable

I can no longer live with the uncertainty

The hope

The crush of disappointment

I have thrown away the food bowls

And boarded up my emotional cat-flap
