The eagerness is to protect; track and kill whichever threat crosses any pane. Wild eyes search hungrily, expectantly, and the days saunter past the hunt with a brand of tremulous rhythm misspent on correction. Let them be free, one wonders? Windows cast like a lightbox, and stares flex against intrusion, animal instincts a strike away from freeing the red of aggressors. Keep home intact, and the soft heart beats greedily for an adversary worthy of flight; a foe posing as brilliance, but flooding corners with inky pitch. #irispad #day24 #sept24 #box #wordoftheday #photoaday #cat #window #dusk #sunlight #sunset #feline #writer #writing #poem #poetry #soso #late (at On Guard)
