Cat

there is this cat

i know it is my grandmother’s

reincarnate

she watches me

everywhere i go

she is blind in one eye

so was my grandmother

bitten by a dog no less

i didn’t always have this cat

she came to me on the street

starving

i fed her

wouldn’t you?

then i noticed the resemblance

to my grandmother

she yells at me

and my partner is allergic
