Blueberry

 August 30 Word of the Day: Blueberry

 

Blueberry her tag, her registry statement at the home (temporary) from bewildering lanes of city cruelty. There to learn the hard way. To learn the scavenge of empty places, the threat of eventide that is darkness. Cat outside the bounds of domestic expectation, arrived unbidden, unknown. To be found in the crucial moment. Saoirse Blueberry O’Connor. Her chosen name after discovery. A basket on the passage to a corridor. Smell of unusual dry biscuits and lapping water bowl. Todays one upon another where a door opens on grass and green stalks. And settled sleep in dusk’s inside, dawn’s safe re-emergence.
