This poem explores the solitary and introspective journey of a stray cat navigating through the urban wilderness under the moonlight. The imagery evokes a sense of loneliness and resilience, as the cat, symbolizing a wandering spirit, moves through the cold cityscape. The poem ponders the existential questions of purpose and meaning from the perspective of an animal that survives against odds, having never known human love or kindness, finding a sort of poetic grace in its independence and transient existence. Through it we see the poignant beauty in the life of an unclaimed soul that finds purpose and freedom in its solitary dance with life and death, untethered by typical domestic comforts or relationships.
