Unfurling form blossoms; a mindful wave.
Tired, its eyes of tailored hubris seek out
The dawn’s commencement; sleep, breached and dissolved
With a stretching of consciousness devout.
A coriaceous nose sniffs the still air,
Exploiting senses, keen; kind nature’s gift.
Flames of hunger flicker from deep inside
Its belly; the warm bed is left adrift
Receding to the shadows far behind.
The small creature, royally promenading,
Moves onto the landing towards steep stairs
As food is placed, with calls, serenading.
The feline’s self-obedience is lost.
It descends frantic, then, scampers apace
To the kitchen where soft salmon chunks lie;
Joyous feasting, later a fond embrace.
