his blood, bright red and new,
dripped onto the soft
lambs wool bed leaving
stains like miniature brush strokes,
from his trembling eye,
I saw the wound, a sad gash
on the pupil unnoticed,
he lay still, unmovable, stoic,
content in that silent pain,
I called a women walking by,
told her about the injury, the blood,
the urgency, she thanked me
and ran to help,
I watched her for
as long as I could, then headed
for the exit
to buy cat food and litter.
