Fish Hawk
There it is - a dot in the blue.
There it is - black wings in the sun.
There is - a feathered diving.
Here it comes
look at the parting windward!
Look - a bolt of fright
a flight of lightning
Fish wriggling- slivering rainbow
clawed hook hung in the hanging
spray fly-falling
bird up-risen
wings boating airward
mouse run snake path in the scrub
food - baby food
open red mouths - nesting.
mouse got - too slow
fish gone.
Mouse swallowing
last breath.
