You’re Never Ready

 

Can the dead feel the closeness of love?

My cat can, sitting upon the lap,

looking up with eyes of attention

or

at least

I think she

can.

 

It runs through my mind

and I’m not sure why?

Maybe I think about my own

Death

and

I hope

 

to love

to remember

 

those still living

to dine with friends

my grandpa and grandma

who died when I wasn’t

ready

 

You’re never ready.
