Very jarring, Liz – in a poetically good way. I mentally stepped back when reading it. Love the “sea blue eyes.”
When we lived in Georgia, we found an abandoned kitten that was white with “sea blue eyes”. It was very sick and starving… We brought it home, took it to the vet, and hand-fed it until it was tame. Icicle now is a grown cat and lives with our former neighbors.
I cried reading your poem this morning. I’m glad that we found Icicle in time that she had a happier outcome.
Jarring and tears? Oh dear. I’ll try to hear that as a poet and take it as a good thing. Happy to hear Icicle has a good home. It’s a perfect name.
So sad, shocking, and beautiful all at the same time. I like the double meaning of “still” in the last line.

I could almost see a litter in the grass. As I backed up, a clear image of a ghost kitten emerged from the grass. Pretty neat. I’m sure you didn’t put them, but staring at the grass almost like those 3D books, can reveal a few “kitten eyes”. Is that how you came up with the poem? Picture first? Loved the feel to this poem, though a bit sad.
Oh, wah!
