Lilly is Fine

the missing cat
appears
from beneath a car.
black and shaggy,
but not worse
for wear.
she's been gone for over a week.
i take out the flyer
and call the owner.
i leave a message.
Lilly is here, i tell her.
she's sitting on my porch,
lying in the sun.
she just licked up
a small dish of cream.
we may go to the park 
together.
or for a ride to the pet
store
to get some treats.
just wanted to let you know.
Lilly is fine.
