Delivered To Baby Hawks
Giant hawk snatched me up
Flew me across the cornfield
I wriggled violently, fighting her talons
Expected to fall into a soft hay mow
We passed dozens of them
I was shocked that her talons had such a grip
She held me for twenty or thirty minutes
I tried jiggling, wiggling
She did not release me
I admired her tenacity
She delivered me to her baby hawks
We were high above the horizon
As soon as she left, I crept away
Angry that she had ripped into my shoulder with her beak
To give them a start.
