October 9th, 2012. Just the other day I found out Orlando went out on the night of November 5th 2012 and never was seen again.

The dentist nearly always
brings me down.
Never mind he fitted me
with a new crown!

Then Orlando
(the cat)
greeted me
at the step.

‘I live here’!
you smiled,
with gentle urging,
silent prompting.

With bows to John who left a comment which inspired this post.
