Cats on the Island

26 Sep 2025

How did you get here when you can’t even swim
Way out here in the middle of a lake
Sure there’s a ferry but who would walk onto that thing
Without knowing which port it was going to make

What made you stay the winter, believing in the spring
-
-
-

Who was is that opened their heart and let you in
-
-
-

Why do you stay when you could go back again
-
-
-

The crossing draws the tide out, up and away
The wind off of the water blows your stream of thought away
You could roll me any time, I wouldn't mind the company
Of cats on the island and birds of the sea

You will wake up with cats in your bed

Make the crossing
Crossing over - this time I might stay
This time I might not come back
