quickly written pantoum

upon the zebra print bedspread
a black cat sleeps, curled
with my foot as a pillow for his head,
his tail, furled then unfurled

a black cat sleeps, curled
inside the kitchen sink
his tail, furled then unfurled.
yawning, he waits for a drink

inside the kitchen sink
i allow the faucet to drip
yawning, he waits for a drink
droplets fall upon his lip

i allow the faucet to drip
as his tongue delicately laps at the water
droplets fall from his lip
with his whiskers, he looks like an otter

his tongue delicately laps at dream water
with my foot as a pillow for his head
with his whiskers he looks like an otter
upon the zebra print bedspread
