A close-up of my black cat, Teaz'ka, curled up on my lap, on my pink and orange tie-dye pants and white t-shirt. His head is resting on my left arm.

Waiting in this room by myself with our cat
With Teaz’ka
Ivan Rumpelteazer, first of his name
Cleverly named, loved more than life itself.
I am so angry at you for being dead.
You aren’t here to be with us
You aren’t here to talk to
You aren’t here to be overrun with emotion with me

You aren’t here to console him, to console me. We are alone.

You aren’t here.
