DOWN THE ALLEY

 

down the lonely road I find solace 

a rough but alluring surface walls around me 

a shadow could be my confident 

but no, a fluffy bestie comes to cheer 

down by the alley we conversed 

not with my soul or shadow but

…but with this repeated stranger 

who shows up anytime I sit here still 

a continuous meow gives the convo light 

as I speak all the heaviness of my heart 

a twitch in her whiskers gives a notion 

no questions ask, just a smooth expression 

she licks her paws as I chuckle 

a deep laugh springs forth from my soul 

her wide eyes give me the assurance I need 

she waves her tail in concordance 

a little stare she gives me for confirmation 

just when she noticed the nuts have finished 

she walked few meters then turns back to confirm 

saw the empty wrapper then sprints away
