A 14-Year-Old Convalescent Cat in the Winter
Gavin Ewart (1990)
I want him to have another living summer
to lie in the sun and enjoy the
douceur de vivre
because the sun, like golden rum in a rummer,
is what makes an idle cat
un tout petit peu ivre –
I want him to lie stretched out, contented,
revelling in the heat, his fur all dry and warm,
an Old Age Pensioner, retired, resented
by no one, and happinesses in a beelike swarm
to settle on him – postponed for another season
that last fated hateful journey to the vet
from which there is no return (and age the reason),
which must soon come – as I cannot forget.
