Alleys and Allies

Like the alley cat
Of a homeless man
I have listened
To the tales
Tattered with tears
That can know
No answer

I have curled
In the lap of
The mad
The magnificent
And known
No other joy
Than
The warmth
Of company
Against a brutal
Reality

I don’t know how
To be housebroken
I don’t know how
To be tame
But I do know
Where the mad man weeps

And I know
How to sit
Beside him
