She was born, a Sooterkin,
Mouse-eyed and clawed,
Crawled from that space
Under-skirt.
“Oh, the pelted-power of a skin
On backwards and flesh-side in!”
The mother, c-shaped, shadowed
In tight fitting insignia
Swaddled and cradled her child
And named her Mildred
After her mother.
She was fed on a diet of cheeses
Blue and brie and goat and gouda
Until she turned the ripe age of 10,
And then, she found herself
Turning inside out!
The verso reversed and pellis prevailed
Until the signature itself
could only be read backwards.
Her flesh side becoming skin side
hair filled pores retracting,
paws compacting to fingers
a human girl!
As to be expected, the mother found
This new human child to be grotesque
And picked up her broom
And swept Mildred straight out the cat-flap.
