Haiku Chain

[C T]

it's feline, ok--

a spirit deserves respect

even when homeless

 

(Some backstory: I was walking to the store early in the day, when I came across a dead cat on the sidewalk. It was black and slumped over and seemingly disembowled, with its guts strewn about in front of it. I don't mean to sound crass, but it has bothered me all day. This cat's death was not natural, and I am not in an area with stray dogs. I think someone killed it and left it there, deduced by the placement of its body. I gave it a buddhist prayer, and I hope its spirit finds rest. Sometimes, this life is too taxing to bear...)

even when homeless

with both body mind peaceful

hands become my eyes..

 

 

(thank you for sharing and for feeling deeply about the unfortunate encounter, Nanashi!)
