YOU HEART BREAKER
by Oonah V Joslin
As I brushed her fur
she'd purr and I would sing
my favourite song
Moon River.
She liked contralto tones
sung soft and low and wider than a mile.
Eventually she'd fall into huckleberry dreams
for all I know.
I'd stay and watch her
twitchy whiskers
silky paws
smooth her midnight coat.
One day she crossed in style
left me forlorn on the shore
and when I hear that song
you wonder that I break.
