Miracle Cat

The miracle was only temporary. 

For a while, we would embrace the miracle-

And you. 

For a while, we would dismiss your inexplicable twitches. 

Until they became monstrous spasms. 

Until we realize that you are past due. 

The miracle was only meant to be temporary. 

Yet- it feels like those moments you thrived still paw at our hearts. 

But don’t feel like these last moments are of you failing.

It is just the end of a miracle.
