the cats have to find ways to live

 

The cats at the back lane

The few I see hanging around

Some are new faces from somewhere

The old ones have gone


They came looking for food

They too find it impossible to feed

The back lane feeding has stopped

As the house-owners do not want to get C19


A lone male cat passed by yesterday

By the kitchen window I saw

The cat is sick and sickly

Maybe suffering from a virus


Like those before him

They too had disappeared

It wasn't old age but a virus attacked

It looks like a similar profile of sickness


In the pandemic the cats too suffer

They are the Ronin without masters

They will have to find their food

They have to find ways to cure their illness


The cats at the back lane

Without food they will disappear

I see a few new faces

Maybe from another street
