Having a Ball
Calmness
Nothing to do
But to stay in my place
Surrounded by soft cotton
Rubbing against my round body
The day as silent as the night’s air
Looming me to a restless sleep
Something
Catches my eye
A disruption to my perfect day
Awareness surges throughout my body
Overwhelming my thoughts
A swift movement of the curtints
Directs my attention toward the window
A flicker
Of motion
Puts me into an ultimate danger
My enemy, sensing my knowing,
Stalks toward my sanctuary
Forcing my thoughts
In the direction of my fate
Without thinking
My predator launches himself across the room
Creeping closer with fierce movements
Reaching for success
He enables to grasp a bit of myself
In his malevolence hold
Entangling
Myself in his embrace
Wrapping, enfolding, enveloping
Like a snare that entraps their prey
I try to escape
Imprisoned behind bars
Never going to be situated
In my cozy reverie once more
Familiar
Hands clasp around my deformed body
Twirling the remnants back into shape
My former enemy
Now curling around in happiness
Sits below me
With no remembrance
Of what had just happened
Back
Safely in my little snug habitation
I scan the room
Where my almost-deadly fight
Had taken place
As I fall into a deep sleep
I think
My typical perfect day
As beloved yarn
Had just begun
And is going to start up again in about an hour
