Pigeon Flap

Movement speaking
On-road sweeping
Not-quite pigeon shape;
Mutate Pigeon-flap, wait...

Uncircling round trip
Around stifled wing, slips
Parts seem disconnected,
Discomforture, reflected...

The orbit reveals an eye,
A panic grasping life.
Empathy is engaged, still --
This feather will be roadkill.

Morality sees its pain.
Walk faster, it may gain.
Devolve to ease its grappling
On life - STAMP! - neck is crackling.

More cars are coming on
One tyre, its life begone.
But still, so fiercely clinging
What right to ends its winging?

I give one glance behind
Morality cannot be kind.
It weakens, the living trap --
Still lightly, Pigeon flap.
