the small kittens


In the market's place
The row of hawkers' stalls
In the night some are open
The rest empty of silence

Cars park in the rain
The moody weather hits the sky
The low thunder across the clouds
People walk with umbrellas

Walking to the steps
Reaching the dry floor
Amongst the tables and chairs
The abandoned kittens meow

They are just born
Maybe a few days ago
Crawling about in the cool day
The mother cat can't be found

So a guess
Somebody puts them there
Why can't let them stay a month or so?
When the kittens can search on their own?

A stray dog wags tail
Nothing the dog can do
Looking at the small kittens
It is better they never born
