"Cat Nap" (Entry 5)

Large monochrome cat curled up on my bed.
I see your white paws.

I see your black head.

You lie there before me pretending to sleep

but through those flat slits,

I see your eyes peep.

The point of your tail swishes back to and fro.

Large monochrome cat in your dreams,

where do you go?
