To My White Knight

Dedicated to Joonie (Joon), my lovely cat-friend, My White Knight. 

 

Under another sky

Where crabs fly

And dreams take no wings

I’ll come rolling

On to the meadow

To find you strolling

On a lazy every-day-afternoon.

 

Fishes and feathers everywhere

For you to play and fight with.

They, who were waiting

For their brother,

From a faraway Night. 

 

You closed your eyes on me

As the pains embraced you.

I embraced your dying body,

Listened to your last heartbeats,

 

As I poured the last drops of water

You’ll ever have,

A drop of crystalline universe, 

In your eyes, formed.

And then the warmth left you;

Your body, a numb monument

Of our memories together.

 

As I handed you over

To the Other World,

I let myself fall

And rise again.

 

I thought words were all that I had

But you taught me they are not enough

To bid you goodbye. 

 

 

- In Memory of My White Knight.
