Now would be a good time

Now would be a good time 

For a house cat to jump on the bed

Snuggle up to me

And purr near my head

The woman I left won't share memories 

Not without anger and guilt 

Hear crows laughing in the morning 

That's the cost of getting divorced 

Now that our love is gone

I won't hear the crows cackling before dawn

When foggy nightmare mornings creak

Roll over and go back to sleep
