Poetry: Losing a pet

by Jane Brunton

Created on: June 21, 2008

JUST A CAT

Why are you crying?
It's just a cat!

Not just a cat.
I cry, I howl
For all the dead, departed things

Husbands, friends, pets, parents
All who have left me
without a reason why

I cry for me
I cry for guilt
I cry for abandonment

Not just a cat
