She took in the light
Of flashlights
As though a sun
Warming her
To perfection
Her feline smile
Unmoved for hours
Despite her heaving breaths
Unrelentingly fed
To the fading bulbs
Where she waited
For him
In the dim
Until the door opened
And he
Walked in
Lifting her
As he sat down
Laying her on his lap
In his chair
By the window
Where he
Brushed her
To sleep
Just once more
Once more
In the golden glow
He had seen before

She took in the light
Of flashlights
As though a sun
Warming her
To perfection
Her feline smile
Unmoved for hours
Despite her heaving breaths
Unrelentingly fed
To the fading bulbs
Where she waited
For him
In the dim
Until the door opened
And he
Walked in
Lifting her
As he sat down
Laying her on his lap
In his chair
By the window
Where he
Brushed her
To sleep
Just once more
Once more
In the golden glow
He had seen before
My Sweet Pea had to be put down 20 minutes after I brushed her on Friday sept. 6th. She was my bud.
