Things that make my heart fall
Getting a call from the vet to pick up Cleo’s ashes
Getting a letter from Studylink saying they won’t pay for my study
Putting out my hand at night and realising Cleo isn’t there
When I get an email about mailing lists
When my mother doesn’t call
When I look at my bank balances
When I believe in people and they don’t believe in me
When I try to write and I can’t
When I find out you aren’t the person I thought you were
Things that make my heart happy
When I try to write and I can
When I remember Cleo running ahead – she didn’t know where I was going, but she wanted to get there first
Friends coming home
Poetry
When I get presents in the mail (thank you Kelly).
Canada
When Cleo had catnip
When my Dad calls
The future
Books
When you redeem yourself (please can you).
