Driving through the forest at dusk There was a side road he hadn't seen before So he turned down it, and drove and drove The forest is so vast, and the road so straight It felt good There was a sweet breeze coming in through open window And the music from the car radio soothed his mind Along with the scent of pine And the recent rain that infused the air Daylight had started to fade and on he drove Through miles of pines He thought about his life and as his mind drifted He was almost finding some kind of pеace All his frustrations of his troubled days Seemed to fall away And on hе drove, hypnotized by the rhythm of the trees The dense forest And the miles of pines But then something happened Suddenly a huge shape leapt from the forest to his right There was barely enough time to react He hit the brakes hard but the car collided With the creature, or whatever it was It was a sudden and whiplashing halt Then all fell silent Not another soul on the road, no sound Not even the distant hum of an engine Just the clicking of a blinking indicator By now the forest was dark and all the stars were out Silhouetting the tree tops After some time sitting frozen at the wheel, he cautiously stepped out And there he saw the fallen animal In a blinking red light, and the white of the headlights Surrounded by shattered glass, he saw what he had struck It lay there still and surely dead, a wild boar It was huge A wild boar, its tusks shining in the headlights And under the stars But how could it be? There hadn't been a boar spotted around here for at least 50 years By all accounts Tell-tale crimson drops speckled the tarmacadam Under its limp and hanging tongue Its tail was coiled, legs were outstretched and frozen As if still in mid-run A night moth had landed on the animal's head And seemed to be drinking a tear from its cheek The night was cold now, and the man's quickened breath Made clouds in the night air But no such cloud rose from the boar's mouth The man leaned over and slowly placed his open and trembling hand On the flank of the stricken animal He felt a surge in his chest, in his loins He felt like a hunter for the first time in his life And then without hesitation Or questioning the strength he had summoned He grabbed the hind legs and dragged the boar Into the back seat of the car He got behind the wheel, closed the door, and drove away Through miles of pines A few miles on, he saw a roadside store At a crossroads in the forest He stopped the car and got out After throwing a blanket over the boar That lay on the back seat He entered the store with all its fluorescent lights ablaze As the attendant watched the game show on a tiny TV by the cash register He left the store, and fishing the keys out of his pocket He turned the corner to head back to his parked car But then he stopped Dead in his tracks The car had been totally destroyed All the doors were off The windscreen was smashed out And as he slowly approached It was clear The boar was gone I must have just stunned it He thought He looked into the forest Walked off into the night Through miles of pines
