She's been leaving for months
sitting still long time gazing ahead
between woodland graves of companions
one whose habits came hers when she died
( we saw the transmission take place
when nestled together one night )
greeting each visitor in the driveway
and hunting
my garden cat
Lately all night under stars or clouds
no coming in for man lap naps
exploring high places indoors for daysleep
then cuddling in small low cocoons
Our connection deep by departure
assured her long job was complete
sitting still long time gazing ahead
between woodland graves of companions
one whose habits came hers when she died
( we saw the transmission take place
when nestled together one night )
greeting each visitor in the driveway
and hunting
my garden cat
Lately all night under stars or clouds
no coming in for man lap naps
exploring high places indoors for daysleep
then cuddling in small low cocoons
Our connection deep by departure
assured her long job was complete
