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
