There’s no doubt the grouse hit another car
this morning; when it was too panicked to learn,
to go back, or leap, it finished crawling the road
back from impact to kerbside.
I felt a shocked relief – a selfish, sad reaction
because, almost smug, I went along
with no responsibility for the killing
but now I ask - why didn’t it fly, why didn’t it fly?
