the backlane cats



The backlane cats
I see many hanging there
An Indian woman keeps feeding
Breeding kittens and more nuisance

The male cats will fight
Over the territorial rights
Maybe sometimes over female cats
The “yes and no” ringing loud

One cloudy day the backlane seems quiet
I don't hear the sound of cats or kittens
I don't see them hanging around during feeding time
As if something sweeps over the cats

I find out to that the Indian woman
She is hardly around at the backlane
Maybe she has gone for a long holiday
Maybe she has shifted house

Now the backlane is quiet
The cats have dispersed...
Looking for food elsewhere
The familiar cats all have gone
