Raptors Chase

A broken wing in death’s chicane Where pigeons fall unending pain A blinded flock to circle down As fangs await both wolves and hounds While far above a falcon stalks Vision prescient it never balks A broken wing once clipped in fear the raptors chase —with canids near (The New Room: October, 2023)
