Song of Sorrow Not Yet Come




Song of Sorrow not yet Come

August 9, 2014   

The old black cat walking laboriously
To the food – then back to the sun
With his left back leg dragging more.

I watch him glistening in the sun
And wait to watch his ribs move with his breathing.
He is still here.
I sit, I write
A soft snort comes from the corner where he sleeps
He is still here.
