MacKendzie
sweet kitty girl
sweet high pitched incessant demanding
meows
the softest
snow white and ebony
fur
enveloping
simply
an
elf
an independant
confident companion
draping her limbs
over couch backs and window sills
while I
got a promotion
fell in love
had my heart broken
married wrong
had my heart broken again
moved across the country
left my friends in my favorite place
married right
blended animal families
became a teacher
made new friends
got my masters degree
lived a lifetime
in the background
for me.
seventeen
years.
My faithful friend
painting the canvas
the foundation
the home
of my life
with loyal
loving
sweetness.
I will miss her
so.
Goodbye my Kendzie girl.

elusive
a longing from the
strong silent place at my center
deeper than me
reaching out and toward
the
ahhhhhhh
once felt.
Wrangling to hold tight
to that which is only
movement.
futile warring with fluidity
trying to tether the soothe
a moment easily recalled
a moving picture in my mind
vivid moving alive
a moment that fed a ravenous place
for only a pinpoint
in
time.
Then gone.
As if with anger
a hunger unrelenting
demands
it's
return.
a hard sell that if only
one more time
another moment
and the completeness will stay...
An illusion of longing.
I am not sold
but
reminded to stop
reaching
and embrace the elusive impermanence
of
life.
