Five a.m.

Door creaks open

Betwixt my legs
Head in the crook of my knee

By my soles
All soft belly and sharp claws

On my curls
A crescent hot pressed into my dreams

You walk across my chest
Flop down to Luxuriate in lethargy

My eyelids flutter against your snores
I awake into your somnolence

Your Eyes open, a hopeful yowl
“Dammit I’m not feeding you.”

Your Eyes shut
