Elucidating Questions

The cats are fighting outside

Howling and yowling

I can hear their claws in the cries

Get the fuck off my space you other cat how dare

It’s always times like these when I think of you and I wonder

How did I get your name so right?

From the beginning I called you cat (ネコ) and it suited you well but I never do get things right

It would be a name of all things

I hear them fighting

And I know that’s how you fight

Stand your ground

Ears back

Expression guarded

With claws concealed under the cloak

Sometimes I miss the way it used to be

Sometimes I wonder how it was ever so easy
