I awoke to the sight of one of these "skinned pelts," the visual inspiration for today's haiku poem.🤣The USB cable survived the direct feline assault but sustained a critical loss of -30 hit points.😉

Ah, David. The name itself conjures up images of strength and power, of a noble and regal being. But am I, David, truly worthy of such lofty titles?
As I gaze upon my reflection in the mirror, I see a fluffy white cat with sapphire blue eyes. My coat is soft and silky, my body lithe and agile. Yet what lies beneath this façade of feline perfection? —

My Lear, my Taj Mahal.
How many hours have I
spent like this, lying
in bed, stroking fur
that feels closer than
flesh ever did - and
this the golden hour,
time and again, not
thinking of writing, of
living or dying; all
thoughts of anchors
and solemn markers
and Kilroy-was-here
obsessions not even
forgotten or dreamt
of; this, the purr, the
hand and the fur,
these fleeting moments
on moments can be
my Lear, my Taj Mahal,
forever now.
