You got slammed when they came down on that sled
If you get buried, it may be quite a little while
Before we can save you, St...

Slick"I don't want a cat", I told Slick,
But her usual style was to trick.
So I went to the door,
Finding outside one more,
Being denied which cat to pick.
This poem is dedicated to my former sister-in-law....

CleanI’m busy again.
Dusting, organizing, mopping.
Everything is clean already.
We already swept up all her old food.
And mopped her muddy paw prints.
It’s clean, it’s clean enough!
They say.
We don’t get less sad.
The house just gets clean.
We remember her...

More Than ThatClever.
In a way only a person can be.
When she would try to sneak our human food.
Loving.
When she would place her paw on my hand.
If she had fingers,
I bet she would clasp them into mine.
They say...

Most of us missed her, others thought she was but a dream.

Visiting Beatnik Catsthey are beatnik cats, their house is a bit much I was told.
Their colors were all warm – purples, reds, pinks, all bold.

Her Fur and HerHer fur used to fly.
She used to fly.
From the floor to the couch.
Once she settled-
We’d brush.
For years, it was full and youthful.
Then it was falling out in tufts,
So we’d brush more gently.
She was a...

TracesShe hated that vacuum.
She would run around and try to trip me.
This chore used to take forever and ever…
Now it’s done.
All those traces of fur are gone.
But we had to.
Or else the house would be...

Cats and CoffeeShe scrunches her nose, like a person.
She folds her ears back, like only she can.
I drink coffee in hopes it will be a cozy time with her on my lap, and a book in hand.

SplashYou would put your paws in your water dish.
Tip it over and splash around.
Paper towel was fruitless.

I was young and annoyed.
I hate that I...

Our LossDespite the vets,
All of our pets.
Pass one by one.
We all used to have fun.
Now there are only two.
We’re starting to get a clue.
That pets are ephemeral.
Burial after burial.
The pound is around the corner…
But I would...

HeartbeatYour heart stopped.
For some reason, I hoped it wouldn’t.
Silence.
Then I started up again.
Your eyes don’t look scared.
You never were.
We pause then leave quickly.
