The posters are all over town
At the Albertson’s grocery store and
nailed to the electric pole
MISSING CAT Fluffy Last seen April 19
Little 5 year old Ashley’s grief
color copied 100 times and posted
everywhere you look.
Who does that to little girls?
You can’t take their cats away
They need their cats
I drove out of town early this morning
And saw him slinking across the road
A creature of the night
Bobble head hanging low, dirty brown fur, limping gait
He glanced at me sideways
On his way into the tangled brush
With a look that said
“Sorry about Fluffy; I ate her.”
Coyotes come out when little girls are sleeping
They steal their cats and eat them.
But please–
Can we just not tell Ashley? It’s better that way.
