"As I happen somehow"


Poem Artwork

Unreturnable Now

It hurts to lose a cat
But it hurts enough that
I never need to have a cat again
To lose

It hurts to lose a wife
And hurts to find a life
But nothing is more pleasant than the pain
I choose

My past futility
Future utility
Now nothing but the present I remain
To use

The soil of tomorrow is the corpse of yesterday
As I happen somehow
And I will bud to bloom here if only for today
Unreturnable now

This an excellent poem, but I'll admit, you're very first line cut me life a knife. i know that's not what the poem is all about, but I just lost my cat of sixteen years. Beautifully written and inspirational.
