Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is the death of a pet.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

An epitaph for a cat named Charlotte:
Could I but give you comfort in my death,
How might I tell you what you meant to me?
All I did, both night and day, was love you,
Rulers of my kingdom and my heart.
Like gods, at last you claimed my painful breath,
Opening the door to mystery,
The final gift of all the gifts you gave me,
Taking what I could no longer give you,
Even at the end, with all my art.
