I looked at your face today
they say that with your whiskers
you can tell if an opening is big
enough for your body
your small, exquisite mouth
opens in a cry
you want out----or in-----or just usnearby
you see in the darkness with
those liquid eyes glowing in
ever-changing patterns of watchfulness
with a tiny wet nose you
smell everything in the house
but only go close enough to understand it
you never eat anything outside
dish with those needle teeth that
never penetrate skin
your countenance shines
in our egypt with
quiet purring love
