The cat's yellow eyes ought to have opened a bit wider - his timing
was off. There has been a flash of the ordinary being stretched.
A shift, a flutter - an interruption happening. A breath caught.The
universe has come up with an opportunity beyond what we know...

oo cool...lots left open in your little short vignette...and magic happened in that moment...keeping my eyes wide today
oh this is quite nice- mystery and magic happening in front of you!
Loved this ~~ magic moment indeed.
I share your fascination for the moment too small and ephemeral to capture, the moment that by definition passes us by. And then we write about it and gain perspective, and try to hold on to that, in vain.
Love this.
"The ordinary being stretched"...who could ask for more? Fab!
Yes, there is often sooo much more than we know! Love the mystery and promise of this!
I love how the cat is the focal point in your poem. Love the ending as well. Nicely done!!
Your mind really is magical, izzy. I loved this and it made me wish I knew you "in real life"!
I really go for this. All of it, from the cat's timing being off to the unexpected last line. Excellent.
Short but succint and thought-provoking.
it's all about the cat. it's always all about the cat!!
where is the food when mother is not?
Ah, but which opportunity to choose? The cat won't help us decide.
Thoughtful piece...I like that you included the cat...
