Croak
It croak, croak, croaks.
[The streetlights flash at its corpse as it is crushed under tires,
But no one cares, no one cares.]
Muddy lily pads
Still patterned of
Tiny frog footprints.
Marshes ripple still
Of tadpole mischief.
Just like I
Splashed in blue
Sunshine webbing
On brown youth.
Gray cracked concrete
Still echoes its leaps
Till it splattered.
Green leaking red
On a lonely road.
Just like I
Seep ruby through
Snapped arteries
So cold.
[The bathroom lights glare bright, and I scream till I bleed to rot,
But no one cares, no one cares.]
I croak, croak, croaked.
