MEDICINE WOMAN (CAT CHANT) I’m a medicine woman House full of cats Soft little demons With angelic backs Butts in my face At the crack of dawn Walk on my keyboard Like, “What you workin on?” Knockin my crystals Straight to the floor Break what I love Then demand some more Twelve cat trees All the toys they ignore They want MY stuff Not theirs, for sure Meow Purrrr Brrrrrrrr They pee on the carpets I wash em again Look me dead in the eyes Like, “Do it, my friend” Tiny little paws Plot my demise Ancient glare In fluorescent eyes Medicine woman Surrounded by fur Healing in circles To the sound of purrr They see what I don’t Fight things unseen Guardians walking Between the in-between Meow Purrrr Chchchch Soft as a cloud Sharp as a blade Sacred little tricksters Never afraid They sit where it hurts They lay where I ache Turn pain into peace Without one mistake I thought I didn’t like cats Ha, what a lie Now nineteen souls Watching me cry Unhinged Adored Divine and insane Little heart healers Wearing whiskers and shame Medicine woman Cats in my home Never alone Never alone Purrrr Purrrr Purrrr Yeah Ancient as temples Wild as night Tiny fur shamans Setting things right Meow
