Bitter memories and sweet purring kitties!

1 (My dead-beat Mother)
poisonous people
infected and infecting
reaching out only to snatch back

biting the hand and
entangling the weave
to love them is to die inside

they hurt themselves
and share the pain
a danger to the human race

red smile hides worms inside
insidious and charming
a plague on the kind hearted

lies and lies and damning truths
slither helplessly through sodden lips
the hiss is a plea for help

poison and poisoned
spreading the feverish bite
to die is to become them

eat the dying fruit

2 (My sister's cat)
kitty cat kitty cat
soft with warming purr
teeth nip and love scratch
the sun warms but
only family keeps you happy
