the mouse trap

i see the aged mouse
in her
box.
the straw, the grass,
the sand
laden
path.
a puddle of water
beside her.
this is where it ends.
cramped
against her will. 
funds running
out.
parents dying, no
friends.
just her, alone,
gnawing at the bone
of past,
wishing like a child
to start
all over again.
