Dark clouds drifting
Wind howling
The rain falls
My thoughts drift from the comfort of the cats in my apartment
The rain will quench the thirst of many community cats
Diluting the poisons that have been added to the stagnant water
The rain will flush away the kittens hidng in the small drains
The meowing drowns in the swirling water
The cats that fell into the steep monsoon drains
Rush in vain against the raising tide of water
Cats hiding beneath cars
Cats crouching under concrete seats in the void decks
At the mercy of the human traffic
Life is like that
Sweet
Sour
Bitter
What then
Is the mystery of existence?
