Purrsday Poetry: Lap-sphinx

https://i2.wp.com/katzenworld.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/CurledSphynx.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&ssl=1 Lap-sphinx, you stare at me with half-lidded eyes

gossamer whiskers tremble, and tiny teeth
white as winter, dagger-sharp are bared
in a feline yawn,
heavy lids close again, and your face
settles into wary sleep.
