gavel slams down,
impatiently waiting permission to drown.
searching, nurturing,
defending a monk against the world,
your whiskers kiss my fingers,
caress lingers, tingles unfurl,
an unfathomable girl.
i swear for nothing but truth be told
shoulders smouldering a colder gold,
cats eyes hide glinting,
who am I kidding,
this wolf got me turned,
chased through trees,
thought I’d have learned
after all the pages deleted and burned,
gained wisdom from many:
lost what I yearned.
scars earned for nothing,
may as well shoot off in my spaceship,
to never return.

Case adjourned.
