"We found its dead body inside a kitchen cabinet,
skinny, curled to one side, and all alone.
Sometimes we learn the hard way
that other people think we're overreacting
by getting really upset when a little pet dies,
as if it should be easy to replace
one little pet with another little pet
or one little spouse with another little spouse.
As if death is not the end of everything."
in Juliet Cook's poem From Hormone Imbalance to Death, newly appearing in the new SCAPEGOAT REVIEW SPRING 2023
