My best friends are dead felines. I could talk to them.
They would listen, lying close by in silent reassurance.
Something simple is such a rare thing.
It’s growing quieter inside, just me, the mice and the spiders nesting in the window frame up high.
There is new life growing. Something’s beginning.
It makes me want to try again. I want to try again.
