Zozimus

My ankles you haunt

Cat what’re you

Shouting about

What could you want?


You nose at my legs

Tilting at shadows

You nestle again.


Lap you knead

Unseen bread

An unseen life

Thoroughbred.


Door you can open

You will not open

Scouring the rooms

Someone to rope in.


At dinner or not

Wailing as if starved

Waiting by the bowl

Always hit your mark.


Occupying ample bedspace

You like a croissant curling

Resting your sleeping face

Soft pearl of my evening.


Bored by achievement 

You want to languish

Mere thought of rising

Flares in you anguish.


Picky about food

Taking after father

Changeable mood

Thane of Cawdor.
