Face down in the middle of the road
pleading to be covered by the snow
a cat, once suffering,
lay broken backed, unloved, forgotten,
and lifeless, bringing me to tears.
From my old account
------------------------
Not all small stones are about good things.

an entry for :iconcanadian-writers:

If you run over an animal, stop. We passed a cat on the road today who had been run over. His back was crushed, he was partly covered in snow and hand been there long enough his fur wasn't blowing in the stiff winds. By the looks of his body, he survived before passing away, suffering in the middle of the road.

If you hit it, have the decency to make sure its dead. If it's not, break it's neck, slit its throat or shoot it if it is suffering and cant be saved, otherwise take it to a vet. Be merciful for fuck sakes.

Humans. bug me.

Suggestive of loss that reaches past the obvious.
It's the pathos of live that brings meaning to the joys.
