... 4. binda got his leg caught in the old car seat
binda got his leg caught in the old car seat, i wrenched it out, ripping him, blood sprayed across the interior ceiling, it was as though someone had let a hose go, so that it whipped up to the sky in ropes of water, but in case the hose was filled with blood, the car upholstery thick & slippery like an accident scene, i got to lort smith animal hospital up a one way street, they locked me out of the surgery as i went into shock, binda is better aquainted with death than kindi, she's smaller, a runt that never grew a full set of teeth, but she sits with her little heart inside herself & will not budge, binda is a little lighter on the pads, like he's not meant for a long life on earth, i nearly lost him another time as well, behind the swinging doors of the surgery, the vets gathered around, as binda's irregular heart beat played beethoven's 5th symphony |
