20 Sep Pine Needles
3am
Every night
The cat asks to be let in
So annoying
Our Christmas trees
Dry out
The cat drinks the tree water
My knees are scarred
Both knees
The cat gets in the way
On the stairs
When packages hide my view
The new couch
Is shredded in one spot
The cat refuses to use a post
My niece has a scar
On her left thigh
The cat didn’t want her
In his room
I pray every night
To hear his incessant begging meows
For brown tree needles
For more stair trips
To see sofa foam
To give him that room
I miss my cat and wish he’d come home
If I could go back to me a week ago
I’d whisper in my ear
This is the sweetness of life
These little annoyances
and
you
will
miss
this
