Sorry if i'm morbid tonight

Yesterday during my walk,
not too far from my appartment, on a side road,
 i saw a dead kitten,
probably ran over by a car,
i stopped for a moment,
no one was around, it was quite late in the evening,
he was all black but the tips of his paws,
white,
like he was wearing socks.
His eyes were shut tight,
like when someone is pulling out some physical effort,
and his face was frozen on a demonic grin,
a trickle of blood was seeping out of his mouth,
i could see his tainted fangs.
I had some thoughts there,
"Poor guy, he surely didn't deserve this, probably less than any human"
"Would have i been more affected if it was a human lying there?...
probably not.",
right there i understood why people find comfort in an animal, and love him so much
(i'm used to distance myself about that),
no animal deserves to die,
and definitely less than any human,
animals obey the laws of nature,
 they never do wrongs,
they never do useless, insensitive acts.
For a second i imagined i should take him by the fur of his back
and put him on a ground area,
in the dirt and grass,
or under a tree,
so that nature can absorb him,
and his decaying body helps other creatures and plants,
but i didn't do it,
(weak),
for fear of bacteria,
and perhaps that someone sees me holding this dead body
and freaks out.
I still have his picture in my mind,
well sorry if you think i'm morbid tonight,
that's a story from my days.

  1. Isn't it interesting that we both saw a dead cat recently, although maybe it's common everywhere animals are at risk of being run over on the roads.

    I like your description, I could see exactly what you described as though I was right there beside you.
