Road and railway track
Sandwich
The small house
Crossed carefully
Gateways
To delights
Of field and stream and woodland
At scampering species
Randomly they strike
Those metal monsters
Ending short lives
Of pampered pets
Cats, dogs
Causing
Repeated pangs of loss
To myself, my young sister
Rapidly forgotten on arrival
Of each cuddly new puppy or kitten
Survival not guaranteed
