In tandem we enter the final act,
synchronise routines,
eat, breathe, curl together in sleep,
weigh out the moments in silver bowls
and a china saucer edged in gold,
‘To Mother with Love’,
old photos spell it out in black and white,
I pour my left-over love
into your cool yellow eyes.
‘Little black cat’
