The Bird-Cat

A poem about the family cat.

Our family cat had
      Grown grotesque with age.
His skin covered
      with cancer sores
and his bones bulged
      out beneath his fur--
his once thick and fluffy fur.

He felt almost like
     some strange, flightless
     bird when you had to hold him.

One day he did take flight
     and left us.

it in a poem I posted called...Kitty. -gene.
