     Plush gray fur

     and a ladylike face ⏤


 when you died, I didn’t know what death was, 


but I cried anyway.

The author's comments:

This is a poem about our first family pet, a cat named Prozac. Prozac died when I was very young, so I didn't understand much of it, but I do remember crying with my brothers and my mom while she held all of us.
