Kitten

Whisper kitten,
Good company,
Not surprised,
Purring happily,
Taking an impromptu bath
In the middle of the night.
Upset?
Not at all,
Awake, interested,
Ready to pounce,
On my rapidly moving fingers,
Losing interest,
Accepting caresses,
Purring loudly.
And catching sleep
That eludes me tonight.
