The cat leaps to rest on my chest
And purr her little engine of contentment
What does she see in me
That I could be her peace and quiet
For a while against the world
When she is my protector
Against the past when I perhaps
Was still myself a cat
We synchronize our heartbeats
But she races on ahead
As if she planned to skip
The human phase in me
Scanning the future all around us
With her green clairvoyant eyes
