Unmitigably

Three eighteen PM, I could have sworn
I saw with heightened awareness
a Ghost Cat traverse across the floor

I said,
“ If that’s You, Kitty, You’re going to make me cry. “

Maybe She rode in on
zephyrs furiously
flit and flying about outside

I remember………..
She used to hop on my lap
when I had a long tearful bout
Her purring would snap me out
We would sit quietly
for hours after
in the dark

My face now super wet
 saline leaking from
corneal corners
I find myself missing
the touch of Her fur
Her antics
Her love

Her purrs
