Callous Windshield

The moon broke loose

From it's clutter of dead trees...

...But when it fell on 

Sage's back, 

Shots of 

Moonlight regaled

Tiny white hairs 

On her reactive neck...

She was staring down 

At the bloodied wreck

Of her dog,

And wondering what

Base human

Would commit 

Such a 

Repugnant act...

...The cruel mishap

Must have happened

When she was 

Off at work,

And the bastard hadn't

Even the courtesy

Of pulling Daisy 

Out of the road...

...Daisy had been hit 

Multiple times,

And Sage could barely

Recognize her

Darling face now...

...Sage's tears 

Tumbled down

Onto the brutalized 

Heap 

Which had 

At one time been

Daisy.

With blurry eyes,

Sage stared down

Off the overpass to the 

Series of

Cars whizzing by

Like rockets

Down below...

...There was more

Cars everyday,

And with the cars 

Came a heightened

Sense of 

Cruelty.

The callous windshield

On each menacing 

Car

Cut every driver off

From his or her 

Natural world...

...In grief,

Sage let her body slip

From her spot overlooking

The overpass...

Falling!...

...Her body 

Plunged fast

Towards the 

Wavering throng 

Of honking, and

Screeching 

Metal...

...She could almost feel

Heat rise

From the cars

That would ultimately 

Tear her to pieces...

...But for only 

A moment,

She found

Some precious

Seconds of peace,

As she hovered above

The ungodly madness

That never seemed to catch

A worrisome breath.
