Cat-and-Mouse

The conniving feline

pursues compliant prey

to use for her enjoyment.

 

She teases by

plucking whiskers

and with devious smiles.

 

But then the mouse

turns the table

and chases the cat.

 

It’s a constant hunt

where neither

catches the other.

 

It ends when both

succumb their control

and let the other take hold.
