Cattus Interruptus
by Kristine BrieseLike an ink stain,
she spreads herself
comfortably across
my denim lap, and
looks up at me with
haughty affection.
She blinks once, slowly,
before settling her
silken head between
her ebony paws.
Ever the obedient pet,
I sit perfectly still,
keeping my muscles relaxed
to make the softest bed.
But the ringing phone
lies just beyond my reach,
and my stretching
is thoroughly annoying.
She glares up at me
for a chastising moment,
then pours herself
onto the floor to
search for a sunlit window.
