Poems for John Darnielle: The Cow Song

This poem is for my cat. Because I really don’t write her enough poems even though I sing her little songs all the time. I came home really late today and she was so happy to see me and I really truly think that this echoes the sentiment of The Cow Song. Every day where you get to witness a beast that is not human is a day I mark as a success. The grey heron I saw today that stood two meters away from me in the snow before taking off so close that I could feel its wings is a close second, but Katie always takes first place.


My music recommendation for today is The Cow Song


Poem for Kate

There once was a cat who knew life’s biggest secret
because she was small and kept her ear to the ground
She was kind and didn’t want to keep it
So she came to the place where people might be found
I saw her there laying down in the sun,
I joined her and gained all the wisdom she had won.
