I just feel like a cat

Cathy O’Donnell in "They Live by Night" by Nicholas Ray, 1948

Σωτήριος Παστάκας | Χόρχε

Ζει σε κρυστάλλινη διάρκεια
ο γάτος μου,
μέσα σε κολονάτα ποτήρια.
Τα μουστάκια του είναι οι φυσαλίδες
του αφρώδους οίνου
μία προς μία τις κτενίζω
προς τα ουράνια.

Αν πεθάνει ο γάτος μου
θα ξεχειλίσει το ποτήρι
άσπρος αφρός θα χυθεί
στο τραπέζι από ξύλο κερασιάς.
Καθώς θα βλασταίνει
ο θάνατός του, σαν κερασιά
σε ανθοφορία

κάθε παρακλάδι θανάτου
θα ξεχύνεται
από ένα παραγεμισμένο
ποτήρι καμπανίτη.

Amelia Van Buren with Cat | Thomas Eakins, 1891

In the Netherlands, cats were not allowed in rooms where private family discussions were going on. The Dutch believed that cats would definitely spread gossips around the town.

Nobuyoshi Araki | Chiro my Love

“I was actually together with Chiro longer than I was with Yoko – considering that I spent over 10 years with Chiro after Yoko’s death. She’d sit right on the bed that Yoko used to sleep in. Such a lady…”
