Fate is a fickle thing. 
you feel lucky it's on your side 
then just as it came 
a slip of momentary fear 
a fall from60 feet up 
to wake on unfamiliar ground 
dragging onself to shadowed shelter 
waiting death or salvation 
time passes 
a cat can only do so much for itsself 
Luckyonly just began to trust me 
feeling secure decided to explore 
or was it an attempt to find a way out? 
the window was open 
the 3 inch ledge beckoned 
was it morning or night> 
how long did my friend wait 
in pain and in fear 
wondering about fate 
dragged across town 
on busses and subways 
patiently awaiting respite 
only to have help refused 
hope shattered, control lost 
Lucky decided to tell me how 
to end his incredible pain 
I cry my rage at fate
