I heard two cats
A kitten like voice
another menacing
I moved the blinds
to reveal a regular
on the ground
another black cat
on the parapet wall.
The kitten voice
from who I expected
to have the menacing
voice
Their tirade
an exchange of sounds
Both were bent on their
hind legs and up on
their front
slowly they relaxed
their voices calming
and their bodies
hunkering down on
all fours

Title from Theodore Rothke in his book 'On poetry & Craft'
