Cat Lullaby

shock white shadow, rests his paws
on purest snow, splayed across the
eggshell floor, with two blue daggers
sheathed by lids, closed by half
to keep his gaze, and i reach out
behind his ears, across his back
down to his plume, gently curled
around his feet.

                                   i feel the hum
contentest creature, now the azure
fully hidden, falling down
upon his side, inviting me
to stay my course, to keep his bliss
with constant rhythm, his body stills
then subtly moves, i sight his pads
as limbs extend, and wi’tend’rest stretch
					                                               bites!
