Lady Longfingers of Sorrow
Paper skin, frozen twilight
A crown of thorns
The last goodbye you heard them say
And the ghosts of all the things you didn’t
The human + animal bond
The day after Christmas of 2017 I had to put my kitty, Blue to sleep. He was in kidney failure and had gone downhill fast the week prior. A quick trip to my vet confirmed he was nearing the end and it was time. So I scheduled a vet to come to my place the day after Christmas the following week so he could pass in the comfort of his own home. I couldn’t get through that call without bawling.
Who were you—
My dad was the first to break mine. I was 16 when he took his own own life in our home while I slept.
