The Fittest

Birds flutter on the porch
pecking at sporadic seed
scattered on the table
before flying to birch branches
to eat.

On the fence,
feathers fly,
the cooper’s hawk
feasting.



Peace...

  1. I like the way you portray reality, the truth of life. Without the cooper's hawk feasting, this would just be another fluffy bird description. Thank you for your honesty about life and death.

    1. One quickly loses one's assumption that a bird is about to fly away after reading the Cooper's hawk feasting. Nice turn of words.
