To Hunt

Her gaze draws to mine, before she sets her sight on the battered mouse's corpse that she offers

There's a twitch to her ear, and I can't tell if she's listening for my praise or another kill

Delicate as ever, she paws at the present, pleased that she can longer feel a pulse

And she licks her lips in hopes that I might find this mouse appealing to my tongue

A twitch of her nose shows that she's sniffed out new prey to hunt tonight.
