| Nurture |
before my cat attacks - foot or foe -
she lets out this little squeak; prepared air
involuntarily exhaled, her lungs reveal her master plan.
wild ember eyes wide, watery, watching veined wings.
chin lowered to leather, she trembles.
squeak. silly little lioness.
against instinct, surely, her unselfconsciousness.
if not for her status as a kept woman, she'd starve,
her poor generosity a local legend to tenement mice.
not once has she caught anything substantial, maybe
the odd unlucky moth tricked by the gleam of her teeth;
rare triumphs sparse between daily failures.
half an hour frozen, eyes on the flies, muscles flexed.
squeak and so they scatter. a picture of composure,
she dares to begin her sit-in again.
she doesn't blame herself for her nature.
maybe I shouldn't blame myself for mine.
