My Father, Musing
Oct 21, 2022
This photo of Smudgie and me got wet, so this is the best I could render it. So pregnantly poetical, (photo credit Douglas McCray). Poor sweet kitty was scared of everything. Liked me lots but even still . . .
Damnable kids.
The boy so belligerent.
The girl grew potatoes.
They came without a plan,
stray cats you feed begrudgingly
(it’s ok if you forget).
Leave some milk out on the porch,
perhaps a light. So they think that
you’re coming back.
