Scavengers

They come.
  Dark winged shadows in the sun,
    a dozen, two, maybe more on the run.
Winged crows, no, ravens four score
  hovering than landing on the earthen floor.
Small birds and squirrels once feeding
  scoot away from the sudden heaving
these scavengers in flight
  create dismay not delight.
