My cat has died

during this time of virus

This viral time of viral virus

When continuing death and 

loss continues to take place

in this new time of death and 

loss And my cat died today

For close to a decade BILL MCCLOUD served as the emcee for multi-day music festivals in Cherokee and Marble Falls, Texas. Though he lives in Oklahoma, the music frequently calls him back to Austin and Kerrville. Recent poems of his have appeared in Oklahoma Today and Oklahoma English Journal.
