Six Years
(1)Intestate
The door is warped.
It drags on the sill.If I had a flag,
it would be furled.My will and testament is on the desk.
Cat keeps it warm, face tucked
beneath her tail.I only want to watch her sleep.
Perhaps I’ll move her Tuesday
if the weather’s fair.— Sherry Chandler

Thanks for the link, Sherry.
I like Obama better than Bush in almost all ways, but I’m not any more for the war in Afghanistan than I am the one in Iraq. War is not the answer. Ever.
