After a Loss

After we first found you in the wild-

You reached milestones we never imagined. 

As you become less estranged. 

But still acting a little strange. 

Because you are a cat. 

Cats can be thankful. 

But only when you turn your back on them. 

Cats can be helpless. 

But only when tragedy is near.
