Loving Another
Share
Rockport, Maine
Gabrielle Attra left a home, a cat, and a relationship. She considers whether to begin anew in the depths of winter.
I woke up
My immediate thought was
About the cats
It’s so cold
Not loving another
Would only hurt me
Stray cats
They might be frozen
Frozen or dead
It’s so cold
Not loving another
Would only hurt me
I moved out
He and I had
A cat we shared
It’s so cold
Not loving another
Would only hurt me
Last night
I played with another
I could adopt
It’s so cold
Not loving another
Would only hurt me
