Poetic Offerings

---

Darkest, unseen void

causing quickened pulse

Black as a sky unlit

by city lights glaring

Scented like moist earth

I need to visit and stay more often

Sounds like an orchestra

cicadas playing alongside crickets

Tastes like bitter dark chocolate

breaking as I delightedly bite down

Soft and purring superstition

soothing my slumber before dawn

I have a gray cat called Potato

Super soft and plush fur

He kneads faux biscuit dough

I love to hear his comforting purr
