Lilly, the black cat
that wanders
the neighborhood, how
she's doing?
long time no see, i tell
her as she
slowly
comes across the street.
i sit down on the stoop
and wait for her.
she settles herself
on the step beside me. then
she rubs her head
against my leg, my knee.
i straighten
her tail with a closed
loose fist, this makes
her purr, and stare
at me with those glass
green eyes.
what's going on?
Lilly,
tell me what you need.
we're getting older,
aren't we,
so quickly the years
go by.
