Yardscape with Cockroach Valentine

He too had been awaiting
the sunrise and stood alone
at attention unmoving solemn
on the promontory of a paving stone
in prayerful homage to his god
in whose sunlight the future arrives
stepping out from its hiding places
he knew someone had to play
the cockroach the one fallen
so far everyone is against him
even the cat hissed at him
strolling past full of disdain
but he also knew his god alone
had experienced such pain
