Calico
Sentinel
the seedless dandelion tuft
arriving on nonexistent breeze
settles softly upon fluffy feline tail
observed by the one male kitten
in the family of four
who quickly pounces upon his prey
immediately swatted sideways
he dives for obscure safety
among his litter sisters
stares out menacingly
at the unruffled tuft
still smugly riding mother’s tail
weighing the consequence
of another of mother’s slaps
for his certain repeat attack
