Tad
We lost our pet cat, Tad, this week.
He was 14, and outlived my marriage (that’s a bet I would have lost).
He was always kind of a pain: he loved to try to trip you by walking between your legs, he was huge, always wanted to lay on your lap at the worst time, loved to go outside, roll in the dirt, and immediately come lay on furniture, and never figured out how to sit nearby without kneading with his sharp-as-razors claws.
Still, he was a fixture around the house. He was loving, handsome, always loyal.
He is dearly missed.

Fragments
Promises broken
The jagged fragments of our alloy
Split apart
Piercing my soul
Cutting the path
For the scars yet to come
Dust
Trampled under foot
Worn down by eons
Broken into pieces
One grain at a time.
The rock you used to be,
Once strong, towering, unshakable.
Dust.
Now a wind is blowing
out of the East.
Lifted up and carried aloft
Grain by grain.
Flying, flying, flying,
Settling
Bit by bit
Into the soil
Nourishing a forest,
You never knew existed.
