Awake. Alone in the middle of the night.
Too much pain. Near-screaming conditions.
Needing comfort. Here comes the cat.
Usually he's a pest. Tonight I'll take his comfort.
He curls upagainst me. Hugs me.
I'm not alone. I have the cat.
He has me. Still in pain.
But I can take it. Softness envelops me.
