People say
cats leave when they know
it's the end.
To hide.
To not want to witness
what the end does
to those we love.
Unable to see our own wake.
Cowardly, maybe.
People say to cower is to weaken, but
is a coward such a bad thing,
In the end?

hello again all, its been a long time. a quick one for now. this is my first foray into line breaks in a long while (i had a slam phase), so any wisdom there is particularly appreciated, though all critique is welcome. Thanks!
