“Hit, Run” by Dawn Manning

By Luke Stromberg • May 2, 2016 • E-Verse Universe

The husk
of the orange tabby

seeps between the seams
of the earth a little each day,

a white picket
stuck down her throat to lob her

into the irrigation ditch,
stuck so deep it dislodged six half-circles

curled in her belly.
We keep vigil from our bicycles

as life scurries back into the cat,
ant by ant.
