the stripes cat at the window pane

The stripes cat at the window pane

The day of sunlight and the heat

It is time for the midday snooze

In the unoccupied house across the street

There is nobody to chase it

The stray cat needs its beauty sleep

Alone curling up at the window pane

The paws holding on to the steel bars

Next door neighbour comes and goes

The stripes cat sleeps through it all

The slow breathing processes as sleep taking shape

The stray cat forgets all about its predator

Only when the sound is nearer the fence

The stripes cat wakes up to see beyond

When the unfamiliar character comes around

The stray cat quickly jumps out and runs away
