Jimmy and the Lady


Hey human what you got for me today Jimmy said in his best cat manners, sometime the older human woman didn’t really understand meezer after all she was very old and Jimmy didn’t care if they just sat for a while her lap was warm and his motoring pur seemed ro make her happy, the older woman didn’t have her own companion animal and Jimmy could share himself with his own people and the dumb short legged dogs, he was a proud Siamese with blue piercing eyes and didn’t miss much if the older human wanted to give him a few “meets” and have a sit he didn’t mind an meezer can do what he likes really humans are easily trained to understand meezer speak which is just as well as this day the older human woman wasn’t upright on two legs or sitting upon a chair like the humans liked to do, she was outside of her house lying down, this was wrong not on a morning when the grass was white with frost the human woman should have been in the warm place inside the house bt she wasn’t.

Jimmy walked up to her and pushed at her with his paw
“Hey human what you doing out here” his voice more like a cry as most meezers are.
The human made a small noise
“mmmmm cat help me” she whispered
Jimmy thought for a moment the bell on his collar tinkled a little as he placed one paw again on the human, it was then he realized he was far too small to help the human up, humans got up by themselves normally and this one wasn’t he must help her.
Suddenly he sprang over the older humans body and flew across the white grass his paws hardly making a mark he was so fast, up over the fence post and across the gravel of the driveway, sprinting through the cat flap, jumping over the short slow dog and straight into the lap of his own human yelling at the tops of his meezer voice “come, come nowwww”

Jimmy’s own human of course was well versed in meezer speak and knew exactly what Jimmy wanted specially when Jimmy went to the door “meeee ouuut nowwww”
Jimmy ran out in front of his human are you following he thought was he turned back and gave his human a push
“nowww”
Jimmy perched himself on top of the fence post still yelling, his human came closer and at last saw the older human woman lying outside of her house
“Shoot I’ll have to go around” his human said
“Pfft” thought Jimmy if you could only jump and run like I can

This is a true story Jimmy did find the lady next door lying outside of her house, she’d had an attack of some kind and collapsed outside, she had been lying there at least three hours it wasn’t until Jimmy alerted my Dad that she was found

Jimmy was a Tabby Point Siamese he lived for 15 years, with two very caring humans and a total of four Corgis over his lifetime

Poetry

Stare
At the blank page
Sit back
Brush my hand though my hair
Sip the coffee
Lean back on the chair
Stare again
Still blank
The mind is blank
The world is blank too
A canvas, clean and untouched
Waiting to be written on
Still waiting after almost 40 years
I cry for those lost years
The years of blankness
Has there been anything written to those pages
Not much
Do I connect with many?
No not really
Am I noticeable?
Do I want to be?
No not really
I fade into the white
White on white
I mourn for the lost colour
Yet the colour was up to me to draw
And it’s not there
I wipe the tears, clear tears like my life
Away from my face
And ponder
Will any thing at all get drawn from the last 40 years
Or will I just fade away
Back onto the wallpaper
Always there
Just something you never notice

Darkness
Darkness Envelops me covers me
My eyes are closing
So tired
Eyes heavy
The world is fading out
Blackness comes cannot move
I float, swim embrace the darkness that I call sleep

Grief poem

Grief can be
An all consuming flow of emotions
a wave that passes over you
it ebbs and flows
cascades and foams
even sweeps you away and floats you to
somewhere deeper than you have ever gone
gradually carrying you back
to the shore
to lap at your feet occasionaly
just to say
"you will never forget"
