Little black cat
Hit by a car
In the dark
Lying on the road
Quivering
No sound no blood
Still soft and warm
I hold up my hand to stop the bus
Standing in the road
Headlights
Scooping up the cat
Safe from the tarmac and trauma
Now on the pavement
Quivering
Then nothing
The traffic continues by
Roar of engines and footfall
The little cat is gone
Just as the vet arrives.
