And The Cat Said No🐱 I Want To Go Out But It’s Raining I Want to Go Out I’ve Opened The Door For You Do You Want To Go Out? And The Cat Said No🐱 I Want Some Food I’ve Opened Your Favourite Salmon and Tuna In Your Special Bowl Are You Going To Eat? And The Cat Said No🐱 I Want To Sleep I Put A Clean Blanket In Your Basket Warmed On The Radiator Lie Down Here And The Cat Said No🐱 Now Repeat

Winds of Change
INTRODUCTION I wrote this poem after a long stretch of years that changed me in ways I never expected. COVID, kidney disease, surgery, almost dying, all of it reshaped my body, my voice, and the way I move through the world. I’m not the same woman I was before 2022, and I don’t pretend to be.
