in the middle of the road
staring
back at us with
red eyes?
a lump
of furry life
now still and settled,
it's mind made up
of staying put, scurrying
neither left
or right.
something.
not a dog or cat,
but another
species of wild life,
but we were going too fast
to brake
or swerve
out of its way. so
we ran it over.
there was a bump and rumble
as it disappeared
below the car,
the noise waking her up
and making
her say,
what was that?
