Feline Independence

Slowly she stretched out her legs
Reaching for the last of the sun’s rays
She wound herself around a chair leg
Then bounded off, jumping at a spot on the wall
Slowly and quietly she stepped through the grass
Her body moved with a rhythm
That declared her independence
Despite this I approached her carefully
I reached down to scratch her head and she purred
Realizing that she needed me as much as I need her


Written on 5/29/2017, the last of the writing assignments that I will share here.
