Cat in the Wall

A trapped cat inside of a bag

needs holes to breathe.

Hearing this first thing in the morning

is disturbing.

Was it in my attic?

I looked to see if I had one

I knew I didn't

I had to retrace my mind.

My fear for this cat persisted

on the toilet

in my mind

in the wall

Can a hat hide in the wall?

More importantly, can someone

put a cat in the wall?

Now...

how wide is the wall?

Is there an opening?

Is there another area of the building

that hides cats?

Aah, I see it in the courtyard.
