dead cat warrior
felled by dog so slight
dead cat warrior
fallen in fall's cold fight

dead cat warrior
leaves behind the others free
dead cat warrior
fending, fussing, all set to flee

the man-dog is wounded
the victor has been named
the man-dog is injured
for cat has made him lamed

like viking-pall the fire is set
the warrior-cat is laid to rest
sailing on a sea of lawn fresh-mown
reaping all karma cat that it has sewn

stone-ship ritual
in rites habitual

dead...cat warrior
