ABABCB
My cat stares blankly at the wall
Trying to hunt the light.
She flicks her tail and starts to crawl,
Eyes focused, fur upright.
I watch her, silently, as she creeps
Slowly towards her prey.
I remain still, as if fast asleep
For this is not child’s play.
Her moving stops, she is ready
To jump up and attack.
I see her ascend, now unsteady;
I gasp, and she looks back.
Her eyes are chasms, black holes throughout,
And my flashlight goes quickly out.
