murmur of whiskers


"Murmur of Whiskers”





In pre–dawn hush
you pad across linoleum—
soft paws tracing the map
of my half–dreams.

Your quiet breath
becomes a tethered prayer,
stitching ragged edges
of my nightly fears.

No need for words:
your calm is the benediction
that steadies my pulse
before the world awakes.
