To my mother, Emily

Felis Domesticus
you enjoy; no
Love them
Perhaps a bit too much
Sometimes you call yourself,
“The Crazy Cat Lady”.

When you are around them
you brighten up;
like a candle out in the Fall night;
the world around you.

Never let go of this
“Spirt”
or love of cats
It shows you care
For the 3 children you have.
(Probably...)

And while Burger King has fallen
and PeteDonalds has set up shop,
Never forget him,
Never feel bad,
Never stop loving them.

Felis Domesticus
Names like: Catman, Uno, and Peter.
Is it not just another animal in this world?
No.
You care for the 3 as if children,
As if you never had 3 of your own...
