The Big Brave Lion Cat
W The Great Sad Eyes
lies in His Beddy
convalescing for X # 3
lanced again for His Abscess
His Life On The Line.
He had one crunch of dry food
& I petted His Head.
Yesterday @ The Vet
I imagined Him Dead:
No More Jerome —
I pictured My Home
minus One Cat —
The Docile Pet
Who found His Way Here
in December 2010.
Butt Jerome still lives
so my tears are assuaged —
He is in His Decline
Butt He’s still My Feline.

Over 20 years ago
I bought The Suit of Red
Le Chateau, made in Canada
5 Red & Silver Buttons
lapels for pins —
I wore It every Monday Morning
for My Brother’s Inquiry.
It’s a Size 7/8
too small now
butt It was My Favourite —
donated 2 The Salvation Army
then bought back the next day —
& now My Daughter
has a buyer for It on Poshmark
butt I cannot
bear 2 box It up.

The Sky is White
or is It Grey?
Eastern Storm is here —
I’ll be in Today.
Gully will not appear —
He would blow away —
I’ll sit in M(eye) Wrought Iron Chair
& watch The Blinding Haze.

Gully, My Pet
arrives every Morning
@ 7:00 am
landing on His Rail —
Eye tell Him not 2 fly away
as I retrieve His Little White Bowl
2 fill w either cat food pellets
or expired Beef Stew
from when my former spouse
thought The World was ending —
Gully’s colouration often
matches The Sky here —
the subtle grey & white
flecked @ The Neck
w darker grey —
He pecks fast
@ His Dole
while Eye gaze
in Luxury
@ The Sight
of Our Fulfillment
