NaPoWriMo #24
something sad inspires this.
stray
pariah
even
by its own kind
it dies
and nobody knows
nobody cares
but now
it totters
on weak legs
its fur
once luxuriant
like a persian's
now
matted and filthy
it has
no strength
even to utter
a miow
as it licks
at a pool
of water
as magpies watch
from the branches
of trees
