Danny C. Sillada - THE BURIAL

Standing on his kitten’s burial ground,
His tiny frail eyes began to fall,
His mind drifting, searching for reasons
He could barely understand…

The distances of everything,
His desolate longings;
That naïve feeling toward death
Is shattering, breaking his delicate soul…

The loss of a kitten is like the loss of everything;
The loss of innocence –
A bitter-sweet encounter
In the real world!
