Poem
Dear Kitty, with small paws tucked underneath your furry chest – I watch you slumbering. Instinctively, your sweet eyes open wide as I lean in to study eyes flecked gold with oval slits. I watch you watching ME! I wonder can you see me. Am I just a shadow figure? Do you see me gray? Or in this room with sunlight streaming in, am I as vivid as the very hue in which I’m viewing YOU, sweet pet of mine? With me inside this room, you have no fear. But when you dream, perhaps you wander plains of ancient Egypt or of Africa, and catching sight of me inside your dream, you flee, to prowl through ghostly reeds where howls of predators – coyotes, jackals, wolves - are shattering the stillness of the night. Do you then creep into a secret place to later waken to an orb of gold that shines above you as you run to play with your cub companions, tumbling in the grass? Then in the arid heat of afternoon, do you lie down and tuck your lion paws beneath your chest and doze off, dreaming of a distant space much smaller where there looms a strange new species? And among it there is one who meets your needs by bringing you strange food spooned from a can and also grooms your coat and keeps you safe and someone who most curiously, watches as you sleep! 12/20/16 for Broken Wing's Form B Poetry Contest
