My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you?

Skippy

I didn't set a place for you
at my dumb supper on Samhain.
I didn't put your favorite treats
in your shiny bowl.
My other beloved dead
had their places of honor.
But that night
you bounded in anyway.
I heard your scratching
and felt your sighs.
I should have known
that out here on the fringes
all our loved ones
are sometimes, not human.
Next year, bring the cat.
