Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

cat recognized spirit

Cat refused to enter my bedroom
He usually slept in here
Tried to coax him
He growled and stalked off, angry

I thought he was being silly
He was being sensitive
He knew something was off
I was up and down all night

My sleep was anything but restful
At 1:30 a.m. I felt like I was being watched
At 2:29 I retreated to the living room
And slept with the cat
