HISSISITY

... The sky puffed out in a hissy fit
of monumental ... h i s s i s i t y.
It chased its tail from one horizon
to the other and back again, bared
its teeth in wind and rain ... never heard
her growl like that - sounded like thunder.
Lightning sparked from her eyes as she tore
around the room - the sweet little cat
I'd named Katrina was a demon
in disguise ... have the scars to prove it ...
