Mute

Why did you chain me to rusty walls

amidst the wails and squalls

of circling tomcats and tabbies?

Caged inside your ragged borders,

birds of prey circling my bones

while myriad cats bide their time

for morsels of me scattered on ground.

I pen my pleas on the murky ceiling,

written in the blood you have wrought,

my torturous thoughts smeared in dust

while trails lead to legions of mangy cats.

I am alone while you prance with felines,

catapulting over me, caterwauling.

What is your problem, cat got your tongue?

You open your mouth wide and swear

hordes of cats have eaten your tongue.
