Pink Cats
i want to tell you about when
i colored pink cats in the hospital and
barb sat down beside me, her apple phone with her dead husband
right there on the table.
the sound of ashley’s socked feet, how they must have felt after
always padding around,
and her constant prayer
about the alien matrix on her 40th birthday.
she’d ask almost anyone if they believed in jesus.
i told her that deep inside
there is a smaller me,
she fears god.

I love how you ended this:
“i told her that deep inside

I love this one, thank you for writing this. The ending lines especially hit, we all have a smaller version of us that fears God.
