Constance La France Poet Concrete

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.
