Stalking


softly along the floor he walks
careful of the surroundings,
watching on both side
only slightly turning the head,
ears back and raises,
tail up and curled,
slightly fluffy...
he is poised and ready
expecting something to cross
his path and ready for a fight,
or perhaps a retreat will be
in order - he does not yet know,
he stops in the middle of a
movement, his front paw raised
slightly quivering...  he decides
to move forward slowly and
cautiously - not sure what to
expect, knowing there is nothing
different here than there was
twenty minutes earlier before,
carefully he sits the quickly rolls
over for his belly to be rubbed.
