Wind-up Toy

Wind-up Toy

a squirrel’s mangled body lied in the road
run over by a car
for a few moments, its tail flailed wildly like a wind-up toy
sporadically slowed down as if the battery died
until it stopped completely
the instant of death must have been more dreadfully agonizing
and horrible than torture
death was a blessing
a liberation
how abhorrent it would have been if it had been
unable to die?
is death so horrendous?
if only men could die with such esteem…
