CATMADNESS

Posted on 05/02/2021 by Nightpoet

Back in the 1970’s, when I was living and working in Virginia,

a friend came to work one morning and told me a story

about his cat, his girlfriend and a squeaky brass bed.

The cat kept thinking that he was hearing a mouse

and would come into the bedroom to investigate.

His story inspired this poem.

ONE LONG LAST LOOK

Posted on 05/12/2020 by Nightpoet

“I had said goodbye to her once before, but it took everything

I had to say goodbye to her then, again, for the last time,

of his only love and in the same heartbeat losing her forever:

hinc illae lacrimae, hence those tears.”

~ Donna Tartt ~
