There is a
knocking sound coming from the refrigerator
I listen to
the heavy breathing of my cat
Curled up
behind me on the couch
Resting on
her white blanket
Maybe she
knows I am writing about her
She lifts
her head up and squints
Maybe it is
the noise coming from the kitchen
The knocking
noises mimic the scurrying of mice
Random,
faint, clicks and scratches
Like a voice
calling to kitty
Get up and
play.
