Cat In the Sun
A striped marmalade throw
dangles paws in indolent ease.
Between the sun
and the garden wall, limbs stretch,
for a moment as stiff as table legs.
Eyes squint under closed lids
as whiskers sense sparrows,
muscles tense in their bed of fur.
Then the drowsy head falls once more.
sleepy joints loosen ready to dream
of a marmalade cat pouncing.
