Blue-eyed
quicksilver Muse
what
mysteries lie
beneath your
gaze?
Agile acrobat
aloof and then
affectionate
softly purring
or pouncing
invisible prey...
An epitome of grace,
yet languid
you evoke
bygone Eastern
kingdoms-
lost dynasties
Birman and Balinese
Tonkinese or Himalayan
Siamese
of course,
furred
feline,
curious and quirky
-cat.
