White
The bunny pranced merrily,
Blending into the snow-covered town
Onto the stretch of the road.
Tiny footprints left behind
Dissipated with white austerity.
The boy followed along,
Longing for the critter
To feel his embrace once more.
Red
Screeching tires approached, undeterred.
Then came a halt
Of the once white bun’s heartbeat.
Red proliferated and oozed
Like an overflowed dam.
The white no longer moved
And red encroached.
Red and white
The boy stood and stared.
That was all he saw.
Fur and gore mixed and splattered
In strings of matter spread.
Passersby gave no care and
Spoke paltry words of pity
As the boy broke in mind and soul.
Unmoving and still,
The bunny was no longer his.
