I must be what I must....see and those words I find my own self tripping over, and that is what makes me jealous of this poem, its voice, its own knowledge of what it is and what it must be. Am I to find similarities in that cat climbing the thorn tree, meh....I am probably more one to observe the thorns and make some clever remarks about how the thorn scars would look so pretty and unnatural on my soft paws. <br /><br />Still, I thank you for posting this one.

So, of course, I'm picturing this as a French cat who can speak "human."

Wha..."flocks of black spots" sings to me<br /><br />What a curse to be someone who simply must climb (a hard enough task on its own) but has to fight against gravity with sharp pain in her feet---every mandatory step excruciating, murderously stabbing straight through the limbs and into the heart.<br /><br />If she cannot return to the ground (even in death), she must be immortal ... an even greater curse. And in solitude, of course. How poetic. I love that the thorn tree could represent anything painful but inescapable---a task (like writing poetry), a job, a person, a behavior, an addiction. That is the beauty of loosely woven metaphor. It can be interpreted in any number of ways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-69627523958788231812012-11-02T09:34:54.982-04:002012-11-02T09:34:54.982-04:00The Thornbirds is going to be circulating through ...The Thornbirds is going to be circulating through my brain today... pity the birds.
