Killing the Scream
He ran over a cat,
the car killed it -
sees it,
unmoving
through his rear-view mirror.
He wants to apologies,
but to whom?
Finding an empty box in his mind,
he screams “sorry” into that,
yet knowing for certain,
that when night prowls,
a car locked in a dark garage,
will still hear that scream,
as he dreams.
