For Betty


You died as a flower does:
petal by petal.  
When my body returns to clay 
I hope to feel your fur once again
with my celestial hand. 
My hand is not unlike your paw.
Your paw is not unlike a gentle budding branch.

Betty Anglin, 1998 - 2012.

May you rest peacefully, you were the delight of my heart and days.
