A Boy and His Cat

He came around each corner fearful,
As if he expected death
To meet at anytime.
Followed by the cat he raised
Back home – such a faraway
And alien concept now –
He staggered forward, toward
The pile of rags
And cardboard boxes he had left there
That morning,
Before he went hunting for food – or death.
He laid his tired body on a
Ripped blanket,
This adolescent warrior of life,
And pneumonia sighed out of his lips
While his lungs bubbled
And his hands held his cat
In his lap, but not in time;
The cat would not be held.
The wind picked up and carried
The murmur of death over the boy.
The cat forgot her aristocracy
And crawled up next to the
Now horizontal boy, this creature
With no soul, and tried to stay warm,
As the heat left the young boy
And death whispered his last reply
To a prayer lost
In an indifferent world.
