about

a spoken-word elegy written in loving memory of our beloved pussy, Hipper, who passed away June, 9th 2023 aged 6...

lyrics

please, come back
don't leave just a memory behind
please meow again
though not that blood-chilling scream

it pierced my soul your heart giving out
your wide eyes crying for help
in the dead of the night…
dead I was the moment I saw you fall

never to get up again
dead
tell me you are not
please come back now

please shake off this dreadful nightmare
come into my lap again
tell me that you'll be at the neighbours’ door
to tease that soppy dog of theirs

that your furry little body
pulsating with life
will I feel forever again
lying by mine, night and day

that your funny, pink nose
shall you forever rub against mine
my goatee soon prey to your grooming spree
that your toe beans will forever roam my days

my shadow, my companion,
my friend, my beloved one
tell me that you'll still claw our food
and the table you scratched all over

that you'll hog my bathroom rug
and you'll dodge the vacuum cleaner,
your only foe
you smug, aloof, lively, brisk, joyful sprite of the house

please don't leave us with this grief
too hard to bear
with this emptiness
filled only with the tears

we break into all the time
heartbroken
heart of glass
for a broken heart

please tell me we'll be as one again
don't leave us just the sad songs
only my pictures of you
to flip through

we need you in the flesh
we need your restless tail
your precious, unique, deep, green eyes
your sharp ears with the little tufts

your cuteness, your gluttony, your swiftness,
your majestic, constant presence
don't tell me it's no good...
don't tell me all too soon

you were taken from us
you took a chance with life
you wanted it all, you had it now
why leave it all behind?

don't tell me death the merciless cheated you
and you never saw it coming
don't tell me death the merciless cheated us
and suddenly... [tore us apart]

yet, thank you for this sorrow
as big as the immense love we shared
thank you for your being with us
so brief
so intense
so delicate
so strong
so unforgettable

never this grief shall we get over
never shall your star fade away
