Peril
by Kalliroscope

I'm at the top

All the way at the top

I've made it! I win!

I'm better than them!

Those silly toms below

Who said a queen can't climb

I showed them!

I'm the queen of the Junkyard!

But my paw slips as I rejoice

And as I shout with glee I fall

Against a rush of wind

I can hear myself scream

Time slows down...

And peril, two-faced friend,

Laughs in my ear

As I fall

Down

Down

Confusing thoughts racing through my mind

There's wind all round

And I crash

Paws first

But crushed

Dead

On the ground.
