There is a poem lying beside the road, its red fur ablaze in the morning sunlight. The spine of the poem is broken and one leg is partially severed exposing ligament and bone. The words are still wet beside the body. Sentences are smeared along the roadside and the car that did not stop. The composition is still warm to the touch. I slowly stroke the soft fur and admire the long bushy tale. The poem’s pain is set upon the muzzle, but the blue-gray eyes are at peace. They see something I cannot. I gather what words I can and hold the poem close to my chest. Unnoticed, by the world of man, I carry the poem into the woods. This is no place for a beautiful poem to end.
John Haworth is a poet and writer in pursuit of the modern mythology.
