Poems from the funeral 3/6

Death of a Cat
I've buried a tawny frogmouth, Mum,
a bush-pigeon and an echidna
I'll find a special tree
for Ms Puss


Ms Puss
who'd kept herself aloof
except for him
the little boy meantime grown man
Ms Puss, once Mrs whose name
he'd changed at the vet's -
after her operation, Mum -
Ms Puss they carried on a board
from the road
after the children heard her cry
