Hello all, I am really hoping someone will help me identify a poem I read years ago. I am pretty sure it is rather famous because I remember reading it in class in something like eighth or ninth grade. It is about the poet observing an animal that was killed on the road (aka roadkill) and I remember something in it about particles floating away or something along those lines. I would really appreciate someone identifying this poem for me. I remember it really having an impact on me back then and I would like to read it again. Sorry my description is so vague, but that's really all I can remember. Thank you so much for any help at all!

Could it be "Traveling Through the Dark" by William Stafford?
