with a swish of her tail she’s off to explore
through wild flowers and grasses
crouched down to hide amongst petals
ears pricked, she spies her next adventure
and springs
the mouse didn’t have a chance
she carries her prey home, dropping it on bleached tiles
miaows a “You’re welcome,” and waits for thanks
for the gift, the gift that keeps on giving
