Zombie Kittens

Zombie Kittens

Zombie kittens prowl,
All in a row,
On your paper towels.

At night they crawl
Off the rolls and hunt
Your kitchen for
Ghost mice. Sniff
Delicately along the walls,
Pounce on shadows.

Creeping up your bolster
They will curl on your pillow
To purr in your sleeping ears,
They hoarsely whisper "We are
Sorry," or "All your dead are here."
