Dream

The cat is dreaming in
calico unconscious,
marshmallow paws minutely
pad the landscape
of her rest; technicolor
theta waves, a delectable
bowl of cream, rolling
on new blades of grass
in lemony shades of green.
In an arena of daisies;
chasing a wee grey mouse
and, she finally caught the red dot
to carry in her mouth.
While chickadees are lured in by
lavender fields of aster,
she stalks beneath squeezed eyes,
toes twitching even faster.
Remembering her momma,
warm and safe besides,
kneading a bit of air now
and curls up on her side.
Tortoise shell fantasies move
toes studded in flamingo,
napping in the square of light
shaped by a kitchen window.
