Cat 9


 

 

Kitten 

By Valerie Worth 

 

The black kitten, arched stiff,

Dances sidewise from behind

The chair, leaps, tears away with

Ears back, spins, lands crouched

Flat on the floor, sighting something

At nose level her eyes round

As oranges, her hind legs marking

Time: then she pounces, cactus-

Clawed, upon a strayed

Strand of fluff: can anyone

Believe that she doesn’t ask us

To laugh?
