For ..."Come calling, one of these days." For me, the poem really came to life from this point on. I love the second half. The whole poem is excellent --- the build-up, the cover-up, the illusion. But what I found most fascinating was the revelation of the life she held beneath her tongue and behind her eyes. How about a follow-up poem about the "you" being waited for? Maybe from her perspective?Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212391351233448784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-85682129029404862782013-05-03T09:37:47.449-04:002013-05-03T09:37:47.449-04:00What a beautiful cat!

And your word play..ahem...is excellent. For some reason that third stanza really seems alive for me, and the fourth has my favorite lines--the last four.
