early morning world. A world unseen to the
sleepers, tinned skies distilling the blue of
the west, the yellowing east.

Her eyes are liquid black slits, binocular-like
and always moving. No sound betrays her tiny
presence, skulking over the shed roof.
A hunt at dawn seemed best.

Her watery amble is a river of black silk.
The wiry frame perfected over millennia.
I imagine her, proudly perched next to
some gilded pharaoh,

Her all knowing persona guarded by the
lack of speech, a carnivorous genius.
She sees a mid-shaded morning, her
flexing lens calculating effortlessly.

The hunt is on..

oh zenith, this was magnificent. How I adore those stealthy little creatures!
I have four (yes FOUR-- I'm quickly becoming the cat lady everyone laughs
about) and your description of "the hunt" is BANG on! They are the most
gorgeous creatures to watch. Why, I'm even fascinated by the most mundane
of tasks they undertake. And their purr is like the sweetest, most precious
music on earth.

As always, your descriptions are flawless. You are a master at it!
