I am in love with goddess of the moon,
Though I am of another pantheon,
I sacrifice myself to her instead –
Leaving my dead tree for her soft embrace
*
Her cat-yawned stretch figure touches my heart,
She the protector of the sun, soft fur,
And I the wolf chaser of other stars
Still, I want this goddess and no other.
*
Goddess of love poetry, and cunning,
Healing and warfare with joy and music,
Oh, this feline guardian of the night.
*
For I am poetry, and war as well,
And sorcery and the frenzy of love.
So then is this the cat goddess for me?
*
I come to her festival in desert
Sacrifice of myself to my lover
I give myself unto and into her.
*
I will scratch behind her ears, to whisper –
The knowledge I stole from the universe
That yes, she is just the right cat for me.
