My nails clicked on the wood floor when I entered his room. He sat in his favorite chair the silver box in his lap his fingers stabbing here and there. It was time I was sure of it. I yawned loudly hoping to draw his attention away from the box. He looked at me shook his head and continued tap, tap, tapping. I stretched out on the rug by his feet my body shaking with disappointment my whine soft but persistent. He sighed closed the lid to his box and motioned for me. I ran to the door placing myself closest to where he would need to go. “Come on, girl. Time to feed the horses.”

ReplyDeleteMy nails clicked on the wood floor
when I entered his room.
He sat in his favorite chair
the silver box in his lap
his fingers stabbing here and there.
It was time
I was sure of it.
I yawned loudly
hoping to draw his attention
away from the box.
He looked at me
shook his head
and continued tap, tap, tapping.
I stretched out on the rug by his feet
my body shaking with disappointment
my whine soft but persistent.
He sighed
closed the lid to his box
and motioned for me.
I ran to the door
placing myself closest
to where he would need to go.
“Come on, girl.
Time to feed the horses.”

ReplyDeleteI prefer the soft places
My nest on the bed
Or the back of the couch
The crook between his knees when he sleeps.
Up on the cat walk
ReplyDeleteI take a nap all day
Up high out of the way
I can see you from here
It is comfortable
to be so high up
Where I have my private perch
To be a predator to catch
The prey below
I like how the cat poems show them sleeping—so accurate.
