📝 “Unfed; Awaiting”
🐈⬛—by tbt
[Part 1/3]
A dog. A cat.
Two quiet creatures
fixed beneath shared shadows,
circling rooms… awaiting
missing bowls of food:
unfilled still;
broken; unreplaced.
Footsteps running late—
between traffic and lost time,
like porch lights left
on stormy nights unweathered—
thunder cracking—doors closed;
windows once cracked—now shut.

Unfolding laundry stacked
like promises and emptied bowls.
Yet still they kept listening—
for softened footsteps,
voices unfed, then unquieting,
as shadows crept
past hallways,
lingering scents
we left at home
between aged laughter
and steady silent walks,
when mornings meant
hasty breakfast:
still unbroken bowls.

🐱 A Poem (Ed. 2)
📝 “Unfed; Awaiting”
🐕—by tbt
[Part 3/3]
A dog. A cat.
A hope that stayed:
still waiting, hungered to forgive
warm shadows still left behind,
cradling softer shadows for warmth
we once shared in breath…
a hope, a love, a home
we sheltered
where once
time waited
still.
