The Neighbor's Outdoor Cat

The Neighbor's Outdoor Cat
By: Julie O'Connell
©March 5, 2005

coming to the end of my driveway
stunned to see you lying there
demolished as a walnut split wide open
vulnerable, lifeless in the middle of the street

gently gathering your bloodfur preciousness
carrying your collapsed body to safety
beneath the shade of a nearby tree
praying your spirit finds comfort and peace
as your blood is spilling all over me

we stay there awhile, you coddled in my arms
as I ponder the driver out there
whose conscious is no longer free

the one who refrained from acting upon
his own inner humanity

Comments would be appreciated by the author, Julie O'Connell
