New Quadrille prompt, a dVerse poem of just 44 words with a word to include . This time around, in the prompt from Lisa, the word is “with”. And the 44 word count does not include the title by the way.
Well, I thought to one of my cats and my well practiced solitude.

I Alone … and Cricket the Cat
I alone
mostly
with intent
No sympathies fished
.
Alone
with company
only of a blind/deaf cat for dinner
and unknowing muse
of word’s dessert
.
Alone
I embrace Cricket’s solitude
as my own
with only laps and words
Needed for us to feel
in tandem
