The cats are afraid of the wind
Rain waits on the window
I chase my cats in dreams
They vanish when I reach
Lacan calls it desire

I forgot my voice
The walls remember me

I write
so someone can hear me
I used to believe in things
I don’t anymore

I climb the stairs
Learning we are mortal
This drug keeps me breathing
but far from immortal
