V.VI


The fur is matted in some places

but not by blood alone, for is it glue

which binds the hair with milk-white traces

or is it some different residue?

She hesitates before she bends to see

what acts were upon the cat performed 

for being not religious, empathy

for animals she has, but less for human born.

When young, her mother chided her for this

and strove to fill her daughter's empty heart

with the concept of a Heavenly bliss

and the glories of Religious art.
