ASTRO JASPER COSMO Remembered
October 31st, 2025
The Hawk Green Chair
12:30 pm
My Emblem of Grief —
My Giant Black Cat
“ASTROPITHICUS”
is buried in Port Clyde
@ My Kids’ Grandparents’ House
now sold —
He was marked only by a White Star
on His Chest
& now by several unremarkable stones
laid by Eliza
amongst dry brush
@ the edge of the high ground
overlooking The Clyde River Shore —
The Anniversary of His Death
came this year
unnoticed by me
until It had passed
by several days —
October 13th, 2022
when Astro had a morning spasm
as He lay for the last time
on the lime-green cushion
of My Grandmother’s Wrought Iron Chair
stationed @ My Hawk Kitchen Outpost —
Eye remember My Green-eyed Pet
w/ all my endless fondness
held for Him alone
& no matter whether Eye visit His Bones
devoid of The Big Black Stone
planned butt not placed
on His Grave no longer owned
always will Eye remember
ASTROPITHICUS:
The Biggest Black Panther —
The Biggest, Hugest, Sleekest
Most Beautifulest Black Panther
In The Whole Wide World ––
2 Come Out of The Wilds of The Hawk —
W/ The Cute Lil’ Vampire Toofies!
