HONORABLE CAT

Honorable Cat

I am Cat.

I am honorable.

I have pride.

I have dignity.

And I have a memory.

For I am older than you.

I am older than Gods; the Tree Gods, the Stone Gods,

the thunder and lightning and the Sun  Gods

And your God of love.

I too can love

But with only half a heart

And that I offer you.

Accept what I am able to give

For were I to give you all

I could not bear your inevitable treachery.

Let us remain honorable friends.
