Kinetic Repose

Russian Fudge with caramel swirls

Right back foot splayed

Ringed tail skipping and dodging

Not so lucky, the green felt mouse unravels

Spring! Madam Mucks up letters and loose leaf essays

Rumbling gingerbread loaf

To each new noise, ears pivot and retune

Half-baked cookie settles

into the zebra striped bean bag

Circumference warped by a paw thrust out

An unblinking cursor monitors

you. Her greeting reverberates

Whiskered beggars can be choosers

Waiting, whiffle the Whiskers jelly meat

and the flap goes kablam!

Your thighs are dough to her working

claws. Hypnotised, she is utterly indifferent

Dribbling onto your index finger

Lithe and lazy

Loved nuisance
