In one swift sweep
the head fell to the ground
even before died down
the last gargling sound!

When from the warm plate
I chewed the leg
I felt a little bothered
how the pleading eyes begged
before closing for a painless sleep!

then consoled once more an emotion
by telling me

death was the only salvation

They say
we must learn to live with the pain

I wish
there was a remedy
*starting with me!
