in my previous life


in my previous life
as a kitten of the queen
i learned of
fickleness
in a burlap bag
in a bathtub
for my runted size
the shortness of 9 lives

in my previous life
as the queen of 9 kittens
i learned of
guiltlessness
in my bed
in my chambers
a thousand walls away
petting my pussy
calling for my lavender lotion
to sooth my achingly dry hands

in my previous life
as the concept of hypocrisy
i learned of
hopefulness and
hopelessness
drinking bathwater earl grey
with two lumps of strychnine sugar
behesting drown
being drowned
drowning.
