Max Shapiro Maxim Zorich
Heavy shelling. Ground up, burnt sight.
A used to be house with used to be people inside.
Over the ruins walks a cat in plight.
The cat screams hunger. His owner failed
To feed it since yesterday night.
A cry freezes, fading off at blue lip.
Wake up, wake up, try to sit.
Wake up, stop lying dead. Try to do it.
Your corpse is no use for even a cat.
Not something cats eat.
Don't lie dead! Try, try to sit.
It's only a cat, that someone must feed.
Riddled by bullets pillaged pharmacy, a wracked van.
A sniper hides nearby in a rat’s den.
The cat pulls the sleeve of a used to be man,
rubbing its muzzle at a still, cold face.
The cat is just asking when?
It’s yelling. It hasn't been fed.
Wake up, get going! Feed, feed the cat.
Get up, walk up to your former flat.
Where the void disguises as silence
Of used to be peace. And yet
It is now a big hole instead.
Get up, stand, feed the cat.
