Concrete Cat

O I am so sad now that she left for up above. Twenty years is a long time to love a cat, this sweet. A kitten came that fit my hand all fluffy and purring, she loved to cuddle all the long nights. I held her in my arms till her body was stone. And now I go to the place where I buried my beauty. I told my friends- no, no, more cats for this here girl. They say just give it time! Oh, oh my- days are empty, sometimes, I hear her soft meow call, calling for me, and that breaks my heart. Tears, now fall fall fall like rain on my new wee cat. ______________________________ August 23, 2018 Poetry/Concrete/Concrete Cat Copyright Protected, ID 18-1198-804-01 All Rights Reserved.
