Kitty Poem by Jacqueline Vega

My kitty doesn’t come in today
She’s cold
And old
And she stays outside

I feel her side so soft with hair
And she’s hard inside
And shadows form
That were not there

And someone cried
Who wasn’t there

I cannot hear her on my way
And the world is gray
And visions sway

And sounds and smells
All fade away
To save themselves
Lest they decay

And I see the sun
And a vivid sky
But the clouds will come
And good friends die
