The black cat winks

And thinks

That their love will be unnoticed

To the icy ,mechanical concepts of

Unrequited love

Cold from the human

Exuding from their warmth

Blood in their veins

Nerves telling

Showing

Rushing to spark color into flesh

Unto others in touch

How to feel loved

Moved in all angles

Acuteness of a golden ratio

Between mind and body and spirit

How lonley the cat must feel

To not be able to hear it

To deserve the touch

But not receive the blood in it

For when they wink

they wink to the stars

Because the stars know to twinkle back

But the human winked back

And so the language of love

The bridge built on rivers of life

The human folly

Was broken

The human knew that when you learn

To speak

You forget language

You lose expression

When you find it

So the cat nuzzled

And purred

Rubbed against the humans cheek

Walked across their collarbones on the bridge

Now feeling a bridge to walk across

In an

Unknowable distance from each other

Somehow

The human knew the stars wink too.

And found love in what they were lost in.

Decides to speak with their eyes

And say

“I love you too.”
