Helen said
Mrs Knight's cat
had died
got run over out
on the road
squashed up
in the kerb.
Helen showed me
her face distraught
tears in eyes.
There it was
a tabby cat dead
and bloodied.
Does
Mrs Knight know?
I said.
Yes she's
most upset
Helen said
she asked my dad
if he could box it up
and bury it outback
in the small bit of garden
no one uses
and he said
he would after his dinner.
We watched the dead cat
it seemed old
and was probably
in cat's heaven now
I said
to cheer her up.
Do you think
so Benny?
she said.
Sure it is
I said.
She seemed pleased
and we walked off
leaving the cat
to Helen's dad
to pick up and bury
in the small bit
of garden
no one uses
except other cats
to **** in or wait
for birds to catch.
We walked under
the railway bridge
as a steam train
steamed over
and away.
Poor kitty
no more to play.
