Cat on a Windowsill in Venice

The cat stretches from nose to tail 

Before settling into the sunlight. 

The dust settles like a veil

Showering the cat in a halo of white. 

He curls into the satin pillow

His fur prickling in the cool air,

The breeze, making the sheets billow

And the open windows catching the sun’s glare.

He sleeps with such ease

Unaware of the chaos below

But with a glance to the corner he sees 

A small gray mouse; his greatest foe. 

With one leap, he is ready to thief 

The life from the creature, and make his existence brief.
