Ode to Ella Fitzkitten

your mew just a squeak
nearly too high to hear
with a human ear

scratch in your throat
big eyes up at me
questioning, trusting

thick, silky fur
shedding, shedding!
trademark all textiles

smelly, too--
always thought of that
song from the sitcom

i fed you well, though--
too well!
pleasantly plump
so, so snuggly

buried you in that spot
you rolled around

dry dirt
always entrenched
in your fur

box of rocks
bundle of love

9.21.11
