on the way to the shop
on the road
yesterday I saw the third hedgehog this week
that had been run over
each one bursts differently
their brains, their blood, their flesh around them
I no longer even count the squirrels that have been hit
sometimes there is a cat as well
or a fox
they are left there
like a piece of rubbish
magpies and crows peck at their flesh
but only until
more cars come along
and crush their bodies
into the tarmac
every year
more than 60 million animals are killed on the roads
more than 60 million animals are killed on the roads
sixty million — like an entire country
and this does not include the snails
and this does not include the snails
A country of animals slaughtered by vehicles
I have always been glad I do not have a car
and I do not have a driving licence either
it feels good
not to be part of this
