Second of four in a series for WWP
Cattail Muse: a haibun: Ensorcelled
Unexpected a wet cat on my porch...
I didn’t even hear the rain, in my distracted mood
so topsy turvy, unsettled in this house
I am Clara - the daughter of dreamers
grounded by the generations that have left me
this old yet updated cottage of collected memories
I’d be the first to say to Dorothy...
That I certainly believe - I’m not in Kansas anymore
though I’ve never been there, except when reading Baum.
This house was built in the eighteen hundreds
and has about one hundred and forty years of secrets
and now I’ll be adding my broken hearted sighs
Best see about drying up this tangled mass -
“Cat? I think I have some tuna in the cupboard. Yes, Cat
I am speaking to you. No collar, no name - yet...”
~~~
Was this a house or a museum - ‘it’ isn’t very large.
But it is dry and her heart speaks volumes - And she is gentle
and says; “I think I have some tuna...” I am in, like Flynn.
~~~
conscientious
of reality, shadows
diminish with light
Note: "In like Flynn" is a slang phrase meaning "having achieved a goal or gained access as desired"
Ensorcelled fits - look it up :)
