the way good love can take leave of you

I found him like this, sleeping on the book we would have read together. I never imagined myself owning a cat, but I am grateful for his rhythms, the way his paws knead me awake just before 6 every day. When I find myself again like this, it is nice to have him sleeping, purring warmly nearby.

Especially if you love as I love
falling to the earth. Especially if you're a little bit
high strung and a little bit gutted balloon.
