From “War Sketches”
Sleek cats in sunny doorways …
That he might ease his misery and pain,
Forget the swaying lorry and the rain.
It pressed against his eyes. His feet were wet.
He wished that he could light a cigarette.
He wiped the drops that gathered on his chin.
The road grew rougher and more rain leaked in.
