Devil Cat

It seems that everyday    near enough
my devil cat brings a friend of mine
- mouse    tit    robin -
into my house    banging the trap

He puts the bird – fluttering - down. . .
Watches the mouse - impossible mission - run...

His yellow eyes striped & moonlike fiercely stare into mine.
He positively growls
- surely you've heard a cat growl?
He hides under the table & very angry defies me.

BUDDHA BE PRAISED!
Tomorrow he himself will be the tit or the mouse
(dodging the instant stroke)
urging & fluttering
desperately running...
