We sit on the uppermost bench
in the sauna; he purrs, hasn't eaten
after getting his medication.
It's difficult being old and ill,
all the long years on fast paws
suddenly at an end. Time
is running out swiftly
and now it's you who is
being left behind, an old man
in a fur now far from immaculate.
Time, the great beast, has defeated
you, and with you, part of us.
