You Walked Away

A Homage to a Pet

You Just Walked Away

By Sherone Taylor

 

You just walked away

No notice, no words

Orange tail twitching.

 

A splotch of white

In a field somewhere

Under a fallen limb?

 

No noise to tell us

You might need help

With your dying.

 

Nearly twenty years

You meowed “NOW!

Feed Me Now!”

 

Today, you walked away

No notice, no words

All to save us sorrow.
