nature in action
On a dead branch, perched,
Amid bronzing leaves,
Watchful, waiting,
Patient.

Outspread wings, dropping,
Downward precise flight,
Sailing undetected,
Focus.

Backward winging, quick,
Talons extended,
Reaching, grasping,
Squeak.

Examining beneath claw-trap,
Sensing no movement,
Tearing, swallowing,
Death.
