UK Supreme Court
discriminates against tiny minority
boosts hater's book sales

V.IV
The final room of this depressing place
awaits with partly opened hardboard door
a ragged hole has been kicked through at base
to leave a cat-sized gap over the floor.
She's neither seen nor heard the pet of the deceased
and half expects to find its sad remains
although she hopes the feline was released
before he chose to smash his head and brains.
There is no stink of death within the room
just barroom smell of cigarettes and beer
and while her eyes adjust within this tomb
what happened to the dead man's cat comes clear.
