Ode to a Pistol

Hyena kitten

soft, playful, unreal

hyena, who would

eat my hair whenever

I held her.

Poor eyesight

bizarre sense

of feline humor

a tortoise shell

of color patches

growling at stuffed dogs

and swatting her shadow

my little Pistol.

      Thank you, Joyce. I found her dead by the porch over the weekend. I don’t know what happened to her. She was very old.
