you bring to me
your offering
of love
you place it gently
upon my sleeping breast
and the retreat
to the chair in the corner
and sit, content
to wait til I awake
you watch me
with eyes
full of adoration
hoping your token
will be sufficient
and bring praise
i awake....to find
a dead mouse
on my chest
in shock
i scream
long and loud
i do confess
you are confused
this is you best
you bring to me
and i yowled at it
you slink away
thinking these
human things
are difficult
to please
next time
i must bring
a baby rabbit
back to the nest

our newish cat...has started bringing in his kills, firts it was bugs and snails, then little lizards, on the weekend the lovingly present mouse....this afternoon on the kitchen floor a rabbit kit......
...he now has a collar and bell....and we are looking into a cat enclosure..
the force seems to be strong in this one.
