penne.

fun side note: i wrote this on thursday. on friday, after an eight year hiatus, doves announced they were going back on tour and making music again. the sun streamed through the blinds, projecting stripes of light and dark across her body. a cat jumps onto the bed, fully aware it was past it's usual feeding time. it slinks past parts of the duvet bundled up on one side of the bed, having been kicked off during the night. the cat inspects it's owners face, popping it's nose near her mouth to feel a puff of breath. good. still here. it lifts one paw up to hit the girl on the nose... but then thinks better. instead it gives her nose a gentle lick to say 'hello. it's me. wake up please. i require food.' it's tongue meets her soft nose. she twitches her head out the way of it's tongue. slowly she opens her eyes to see the cats two big blue eyes staring at her. she lifts her arm from under her and extends it out. 'hello puss. feeding time again?'.
