Kitty Litter

you leapt from a porch on the street to help me carry my kitty litter home
i miss this
a man.
a man who could help me carry my kitty litter home.
sleeves rolled up
determined
later
you left your telephone number on my door step
I called you
you forgot who I am
until you suddenly
remember
kitty litter?!
you say
like it's my name
kitty litter
i repeat
like it's my name



Traci Winston is a writer, philosopher and kitty cat connoisseur living in Portland, Oregon. Traci loves the Pacific Northwest because it's melancholy, romantic and dark. Much like her personality. When she's not frolicking in the rain, you will find her reading, writing, and gardening. Her three favorite loves. Charles Bukowski is where she draws her inspiration from and she always adheres to his golden rule: "Don't Try."
