SADIE     1998 - 2018


little friend

we had a common
distant ancestor
you and i

we are both
it would seem
at the end...
of countless replications
and randomized mutations
made by helices
of anti-parallel
encoded molecules

you joined us
feisty little
playful
feline spirit
and shared
a number of cycles
of wanderings
thru space and time

supervising
all the gardening
phases of the moon
and making sure the house
was well supplied with mice


we talked and thought
about the nature
of the universe
and of our place within


and we aged


we heard fewer
of the birds...
our leaps
diminished
year by year...
we often missed
what once
was plain to see...



one night of lightning strikes
and winter storms
the last strands
of your resolve
detatched
and came unwound



you told us it was time to go

you climbed up
on my lap
and said goodbye
then went alone
out into the cold and rain


we carried
your last awareness
back into
a sheltered warmth


and there we eased
the final heartbeats
of your life


we were a team
together
for our time

i learned from you
how some important things
might best
be done
