goodbye Henry

on the day 
we put him in the crate and 
drove to the pet vet meowing

in the room
three fake candles on the table
and a small blanket 

while we waited I scratched his neck 
hand lost in the soft fur 

on the blanket he went to sleep 
another needle made his heart stop
my hand still lost

I said goodbye 
and left the room 
sadness surrounding like 
meows
