A Note to Jim as He Travels

Jim -

I visited Bobby today in your absence.
When I arrived she was seated
in your rocker in the half light
listening to a selection from Brahms.

As I entered, she stretched,
and then meowed in that hoarse,
but not altogether unwelcoming way.
You know what I mean.

She ate her wet food while
I got fresh water, and then
we sat on the kitchen tile awhile.
I scratched behind her ears,

and we listened to Chopin.
I do believe she is my friend now,
and I will visit again in a few days.
How is Warsaw?  Be well.

Matt
