Missing



When kitty is sleeping I can hear her
gentle wheezing
the legacy of a long ago
bout with a vet's
overdose of anesthesia
and I wonder how it is she
can lay there so peacefully,
this odd cat of mine
as I sit over her with a
disturbed peace
because I've not heard from you yet
and because this morning I didn't
want to let you go.
