Goodbye Teagan, 1990 to 2007

It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing of a beloved pet. Teagan passed away peacefully in her sleep this afternoon. The last of the "Three Mousekateers" is now gone. She is at last reunited with Luba and T'Pau.

The following poem is dedicated to her.

SHE IS GONE
No more the velvet touch
soft and silky on my skin
her warmth in my lap
like warm red wine
mournful sax wails sounding like her voice
plaintive, questioning
but she is gone
I won’t hear her in the night, rustling
She won’t rest her head on my arm anymore.
Someday when the wind is licking at the clouds in the sky
I’ll smile and think of her
in the tall grass, crouching for bird or butterfly
but right now I cry, for she is gone.
