One For Sorrow

bald eagle circling bare fields

cropped grain in sharp focus -

hare fair game for nature’s call


waterfall refusing to rise above

climatic change to see for all -

central vision gravely impaired


cataracts speeding up shadows

snow fall veils scarred curtains-

crow cautiously picks bull’s eye
