KITTEN'S PET

Amarantha Françoise Dyuaaxchs


Spirals cover emeralds.
       Pad, pad, pad.
Sour sweat drips into blood.
       Bad, Bad, Bad.
Amy, don't work so hard.
Hermes, don't bite.
Amy, take a bath.
Hermes, come swimming.
Amy, control yourself.
Hermes, leave me alone.
Amy, stop imagination.
Hermes, grow up.
Amy, do your homework.
Hermes, stay out of the trash.
Amy, socialize.
Hermes, stay inside.
Amy, you're too wild.
Hermes, you have fleas.

Hermes, are parents annoying?
Amy, try being a cat among humans.
Hermes, what's wrong with my books?
Amy, your parents are humans.
Hermes, what makes you so wise?
Amy, I am the Egyptian cat god.
       Silly Darkling!
Hermes and Apollo were both Greek,
And Bast was female.
Amy, you are human.
I'm insulted.
You called me Darkling.
