Roadkill
Life stolen
one last breath
taken in the wind
a scene of isolation
among life still moving
past the motionless
small bodies crushed
unnoticed by the whirring buzz
hushed rustling fur
stirred in the passage
of cars, little round
black eyes now dark
forever, rolled up to the sky
soft fragile life
tossed away
in a flickering blink
now left beneath the sun
bittersweet ceremony.
