It’s peaceful now. The afternoon is still.
The street is quiet. Voices very dear
Reach up the stairs, caress me like a thrill
From heaven. I am home and you are here.
The vet could not have been more sympathetic
The kidney failure being quite advanced
The food ingested would become emetic...
The stars will come soon
Down to the earth they’ll dip
To study you – they’ll bring the moon...
