Waking a Rat

I killed a rat in the shed last night
A dark murky figure in the crescent moon light
I pinned him with a hoe to the cold dirt floor
And squeezed him until he drew breath no more
He squealed when I did it and it caused me to freeze
So clear was his utterance, he cried the word please
I stood there and shivered in the mid summer heat
Then hoe still in hand, made a solemn retreat
To my chair by the fire, seeking peace I did flee
But I couldnt escape from his innocent plea
And I sat there in mourning until the fire went out
Waking a rat, and feeding my doubt
