Leo Yankevich - The Cat
12 Views • Nov 08, 2014
Description
half-decomposed, green burr-like eyes
beyond my thoughts or pity, tail
curled into questions only flies
would answer, as they staked their claim
to rotting tissue. Food for worms,
and mocked by summer’s honey flame,
it had no choice but come to terms
with piecemeal dissolution. Those
loud buzzes echoed in my ears
until it circled and then rose,
converting me—some thirty years
since—into the lone passerby
and witness, ever on my way
from daily service, like the sky
itself on resurrection day.
