There's a dead kitten in a box by the side of me
A spare gardenia decorates its stiffened limbs
It's failure to thrive is the ultimate metaphor
A failure to remain in the Goldilocks Zone
A wooden talisman slips constantly sideways
Survival amidst the optimum illusion
of soft light and rocks
Never comfort; just a death
Millimetres away from a disastrous dawn
