Poetry at 7:05 AM

Nightmare Eater AKA, My Cat

Tension. Sweat. Pressure. Mucous. Dizziness. Frustration.

"Meow!"

Liquid heat in thick rivers pours from my skin. Sinuses and lungs protest as I try to breath through them.

"Mrrrrr?"

A sudden stop, as I plummet a thousand feet, and pull myself gasping from sweat soaked streets.

"Mrow!"

Taking a deep breath I examine the intruder a moment, noting the fluffy tale, and the way the creature's muscles flex as he jumps down from the bed merrily, expecting an early morning meal, tail swinging back and forth, purrs of delight ringing through the air. For the first time ever at being woken this early, I smile.

"Thanks sweety."
