Us
Wolf Moon
Last night
Sleep slept me
And the brilliant wolf moon stared me down
Until my subconscious could resist her piercing golden gaze no longer
She grabbed the scruff of my neck and swung me into the stars
Where I collided with you
For the first time in eons.
We raced comets across multiple milky ways
Floated through unexplored astral planes
To finally end off in the dark embrace of that
Same
Black
Hole
The one that ate us alive all those years ago
Until you didn’t recognize me
And I could not see you
As anything
More than a shadow
Of what we once were.
But this time is different
I will never know your name
Yet your presence is illuminated by her light
So bright
That I know we will never forget
Us.

The cats, the furry fighters, the fascists of the feline world, occupy one corner. In the other, mice make up the squeaky squad, the small militia. The reward? Domination over the entire world (and possibly an especially tasty cheese wheel).
