Saintly Gerard And The Damn Cat Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Saintly Gerard And The Damn Cat

Rating: 5.0


How tender the heart
That solely cries out
For the death-trapped mouse
Restores it to health

How tender the heart
That scolds his friend cat
For killing the mouse
Despite its nature

How tender the heart...

Aahhhh..Richard. You jolted some Kerouac memories. There's Faust (the black cat) , the symbol that creeps through several of his works....the way the unshakable shadow prowls, tags along with the person (persona) . Great addition to the Kerouac series.
