The
rascal orange and white cat
Stealing
food in neighbours' homes
Sometimes
she runs away free
With
nothing in her mouth
Sometimes
she gets chicken wings
Sometimes
she gets fish
It
is the everyday affair
Until
one day like today
She
gets hot water on its back
The
burning skin and falling fur
Will
she learn to be alive?
The
stealing cat will learn
As
long as the pain persists
When
it is healed in months
The
rascal cat may forget
The
old habits will return
She
will go stealing again
