TAMSIN 

 

                                           by Sally Rosenthal           

 

Two females past our prime,

at least in the eyes of the world,

my cat and I share this space

and this hour before darkness falls.

At day's end, when the sky turns indigo,

we sit in companionable silence. 

Idly stroking her soft black coat,

I reflect on the oddity of time

in old age as days trundle  along

while years take flight of their own accord,

leaving elderly women and cats to wait

day after day until darkness comes.
