Cold Flight

(Anacreontic Verse)
11/6/2015

Cold Flight

Cold flight! What ice
finds fierce fire
between paws
of mine crunching
through rough snow
and slush slip 
mush mist up 
from face and 
tail underfoot. 
Careful pines 
step aside of our
hunt tonight 
sky lighted
by lightning
finding prey very 
frightened of Life’s
biological
cycle, like the eye
of a rifle 
eying my demise 
behind traitor pines.
