In June

 

June is the month of linden perfume

and a reminder of your departure.

This June is special: I've sent you

Gile, the gentlest kitty-soul I've ever known

who, like you, left too soon.

He is the tenderness you taught me,

the delicate touch of love

that needs no words

and connects everything that's ever lived

or died.

Such peace, that comes only

from everything falling in line

with everything perfectly:

I can feel him by your side

and both of you by mine.
