fold out the couch with three inch pad on metal- my doghouse bed horizontal to sleep breathing deeper begin to drift off.. snort zzzz staccato snore mumble gibberish the signal to the cat, tinga tinga = shaky in swahili from the rescue she shook as a kitten she moves in the dark shadows like a ghost (me with an eye cracked) stealthy, two slanted green eyes shining in the dark, stalking …wait for it— wait … pounce– clonk… onto my solar plexus her shining eyes looking down in mine like a vulture the same cat-trick every evening but she often lands on my face and nips my cheek she proceeds to walk up and down, taking a stroll on my pot belly to find a squishy spot to sleep on dancing, dancing, paws up and down kneading my body like pilsbury doughboy if i shoo her, she begins the whole number from the top walks my back too her claw-retracted paws like a masseuse, the cat healer but after she curls up purring next to me too hot throw her off-- shining green eyes stalking 3.2 9/8
