This is my response to today’s Daily Prompt over at The Daily Post.
—————-

The sound was almost unperceivable

The window of shaded glass showed night

I was tired in that rented room

My lips caressed a cigarette

And your eyes moved in affliction

From the tender saw of supplication

Still wearing a suit for my best friend wedding

I replied your supplications

Jumping through a window with disbelief

As you swore that a cat was suffering

I saw a mother of two baby kittens in disrepair

We picked the can of tuna to feed the tree

And as time passed by the sound of the mothers plea

As she pushed away a suffering cub

And running far from food that I had displayed

On the stone wall of the main road by the buildings back

You pushed your child to our arms

Making me take girl called Jackie into my heart

This was an offer I couldn’t refuse
