Do Not Disturb

One eyebrow raised,

I stare at you,

Claws sharpening

Just right.

-

Book closed,

A warning sign

That now you must

Prepare to fight

-

But no, you stay,

Ignorant that,

Danger is not far away.

-

I lunge,

You scream,

Thinking through your fright

That maybe if you had listened

It would now be alright.
