he was sleeping deeply

                       deeply

then the quiet dark he inhabited began fracturinghe was waking awakening from the outside in wakening to a tussle high between his thighs

                         and as a very thin consciousness began to emerge  flakey  insubstantial his ears began to fill softly with Neil Youngs A Man Needs a Maid  hhummed at first then the words explicit 

                                                                                            a while ago I don’t know when  I was watching a movie with a friend I fell in love with the actress she was playing a part that I could understand

a cat kneads a cock 

hhuh it hung in the back of his throat hypnagogic

                                                                  a cat kneads a cock

rousing

         the puzzle pieces began coming together    

his kitten october  not that she knew  kneaded his cock                                                                                           

he slept on his back his legs apart

he had two cats

indie slept between his calves

she slept higher up 

he laid beneath a pair of blankets and a sheet 

night temperatures were dipping into the 50s

he slept with the window beside the bed wide open fresh air drifting through the screen

as morning dawned hummingbirds returned to the feeders he hung outside 

one hung directly across from the bedroom window

their chirps fluttering wings their sudden bolts besieged octobershe hopped atop the chest and then down to the sill 

his sleep had learned to ignore her now hhumdrum anticshad learned to ignore her stealthily returning to bed  

but this was a new twist

were always learning

a cat kneads a cock

Neil needed a maid
