New Poetry by Brenton Booth










THE STRAY CAT

My tap danced heart
spurts blood again
in requiem of
summer:
stomach pinched,
sitting on my
window ledge—
watching a group
of teenage boys
play soccer
in the park
below,
they are laughing
and alive:
I’d like to join
in
but I don’t know
the game well enough.
