Siamese-Mao

brown face cat
intense of eye
cobalt blue
ringed like sky
you look at me
with mystic gaze
your heart won't tell
the game it plays
brown of foot
of face and ear
there are things
that give you fear
vanilla fur
and small brown nose
midget claws
on midget toes
chocolate ears
chocolate tail
always staulking
some strange trail
light brown stockings
to your knees
the sounds you make
are hungry pleas.
