black fur glistening
Haven't I stroked
such satin before?

What worm writhes inside
that solid facade?
Grinning mask of integrity
dousing suspicious fears

Wind-blown spectre
surrenders his tree
And this shell of a familiar

FAMILIAR

that solid facade?
Grinning mask of integrity

Wind-blown spectre

And this shell of a familiar

Stitch!!!

I've missed your words so much! It's so great to see you posting again.

I love that first stanza, I really do. I also like the imagery (Don't I always? ;) )

I can almost see you writing Stitch.

Good write, my friend.
*hugs tons and tons*

Ghosts of the past depart .... familiar feelings fleeing with them ...

I find much relateable here Stitch. Remarkable words ... all of them.

No-on'es even tried to explain this.

I have a wild cat (formerly in a tree) surrendering to be petted. This then assumes a familiar subject, which I can't discern, unfortunatley.

I think it's communicating something - just what i'm not quite sure.

Keep writing,

Things, and people, aren't always what they seem are they my friend? I am glad that you have tossed your demons aside.

VERY well said
