#tw roadkill

Seeing all those creatures, like that, made us think about the poem “Kinder Than Man” by Althea Davis:

And God

please let the deer

on the highway

get some kind of heaven.

Something with tall soft grass

and sweet reunion.

Let the moths in porch lights

go someplace

with a thousand suns,

that taste like sugar

and get swallowed whole.

May the mice

in oil and glue

have forever dry, warm fur

and full bellies.

If I am killed

for simply living,

let death be kinder

inktober day 5: Deer

FUCKING SCOREEEE

i wasn't sure what it was at first. honestly i thought it was a bird, then maybe a fawn. when i saw its face though it was clearly some kind of canine

not a dog i don't think, probably a coyote

edit: correction, it's a deer

half of its skull was already gone, so i wasn't the most eager to get it's fur off and take the good half, but then i realized it had teeth still

so naturally
