From Stealing Eternity, edited by Stewart Burnett, published in 2008. This poem was first published in North Shore magazine in 2005. a rascally lab-shepherd and grumpy old cat didn’t much like each other, both bristled to share the same family, same house. After the fire, finding them: curled up— for the first time together— under the upstairs rug, the cat who couldn’t swat death away, gathered into the dog’s clumsy paws.
