Two kittens
Black and white
Sit side by side
Something ceremonial
One male one female
All their
Tiny front paws raised
Thread sewn
Through their feet
So they are
Marrionettes
I am the only one
With scissors
I can do it
Without causing
Too much pain
They wriggle
I snip the stitches
Where they knot
Deep in fur
Bloodied string
Meets innocent flesh
There is no doubt
I've caused pain
But it's over now.
