My
cat Tenchi died yesterday. He just dropped
dead. One minute my husband was
petting him in the hall, then next, I walked into the kitchen and found him laying on his side, as though he ware having a little
rest, except his tongue was hanging out and his eyes were staring off into
infinity. He was only three years old. He was not
sick or
injured. The vet said it could have been an
embolism or an
aneurism. This is my first personal encounter with
death.
The brown of the earth
And the bright white of heaven
Slept on the front porch
