Frenchy,
white and brown fur
my sister Di brought home.
I leashed him to the line one day.
He left.
II
Greyface,
Nebraska girl,
had four kittens: Oda,
Bender, Quiet Eyes, one I can't
remember.
III
Peaches,
one-eyed-wonder,
broken tooth and paw, five
pounds of nothing, nursing kittens
not-her-own.
IV
Persia
didn't like me.
Couldn't hear her name called.
Searched for hours. Blue eyes hid behind
the stove.
V
Frenchy,
brown and white stray,
purred his way into my home.
Begged my father's company before
he died.
