Cat is grown old,
and black fur
has new depths of grey
that catch
a drop of water
she splashes
from the chipped Wedgwood.

running across the bare floor
as a splinter catches my heel
and I call out

Don't leave
because I am hurt.

Post script:
All of these poems were written at least three years ago.
Already published in my book of poetry, "Two Ghosts".
No pictures attached. Just now, while browsing for some
appropriate pictures, you can imagine my surprise when
I stumbled upon the photo of the spilled coffee. Now how
can that be, ready made? What a confluence of energy!

The Jesus coffee is my favorite. Guess it's happened before? :^)
Hi Willow-
Always a pleasure to see you!
"Coincidence" has happened many times before..but I really love this one!
I know it's everywhere, but I love that Steinlen picture! (Have a copy in my living room, close to the floor).
I'd like to see Jesus in my spills. The other day, I broke a dish full of basmati rice - no Mother Theresa, sadly.

I love the 'Excuse' - and the picture? of the Jesus coffee? cue the "twighlight Zone" theme music!
Hi Kat-
How nice that you have the picture..I love it!
Today I dropped a bowl of cat chow...and miracle..Milo appeared!
Hi Jeane-
Thank you!
Yes, some things just make you scratch your head and go "Huh"?
Yes, Jesus coffee is as perfect as perfect can be. Bravo!
Hi Gerry-
Thanks for your kind words..stuff sometimes is strange!
Synchronicity, synchronicity (you WILL know synchronicity!)
'into a puddle that looks like Jesus'
I loved this line. I hope you don't burn in hell :-), otherwise I might join you, I am pretty heretic myself :-D! Brilliant writing. Many thanks.
Greetings from London.

Hi Lyn,

Hi Derrick-
