Apology to My Pet Sitter

A poem

— Inspired by Rebecca Foust, “Apology to my OB/Gyn”

Sorry Koukla wouldn’t eat while I was away. I showed you how to feed her. She takes time, I said — but you were too impatient.

Sorry she peed on the carpet when you wouldn’t let her out. She’s old and cannot see and didn’t know how to tell you.

Sorry you wouldn’t let me take her to her litter-mate’s house. They love her there and understand. Sorry I had to leave her with you

but you insisted. She’ll be fine now, she’s gaining weight, letting me brush her mats out when you wouldn’t. She licked my nose to say she’s sorry too.
