Lurking

Still as a rock

a calico kitten waits in the corner

the spark in her eyes

shines like distant stars

She is preparing to strike

her posture posed to spring

front paws lightly stamping in place

her gaze fixed on her target

And I believe I am the lucky one

she has chosen to ambush

pretending not to notice 

I long for her gentle attack
