a cat’s whisker passes me by
a second before I knew I needed
her; I spasm, inch myself to bed
my feline angel accompanies me
and composes herself on my covers
to stay the duration
she is next door neighbour’s
she is visiting
my hospital bed, all day if need
and need says yes
I, on my back, lie with her
she purrs and sleeps
with my pain
she tells me it’s alright
to lie in bed all day
at night she goes home
wishing me comfort
and she’s back the next day
early, climbs straight onto
my bed, I still have need of her.
I can pat her now, and
every time I pass my hand
over her full and nourished belly
I can feel the caverns of contentment
so completely sated in lying
in bed, in being adored
and knowing she’ll always, always
always she’ll be fed on time
this is my healing
I am touching cat consciousness
