How does roadkill make you feel when you see it?
Roadkill is pretty much everywhere. I see plenty every day myself.

How does it make you feel?
What do you think about it?
Have you ever thought about it?

Go crazy, I would love to see some beautiful works on this topic.
Any length, just stay on the topic of roadkill

"Food For Talons"

Upon the shadowed road he crept
A fragile breath, a fleeting sigh
The timid hare in silence stepped
Beneath the vast and vacant sky

He cast his gaze across the lane
A chasm deep and dark as sin
His heart beat soft, a soft refrain
Unknowing what would lie within

Like lamb who knows not wrath’s descent
Or Eve who walked through Eden’s gate
He crossed the path where angels went
And danced along to meet his fate

Yet none to save, no warning call
No hand to shield from fate’s design
And in that stillness, iron’s thrall  
Struck down his life, by heaven’s sign

O broken hare, in silence laid
Thy tender flesh to earth returned
A hawk above, with gaze betrayed
Descends to feast where blood once burned

No psalm will rise, no mercy found
No ark to bear thee from thy rest
For dust reclaims without a sound
And life and death as one are blessed
