the spare-row

...'wowza' again...

a spare row of
creatures take...

their last step
every minute of...

time any where
and become food...

yesterday i saw
a hawk take a...

sparrow feeding
in the front hedge...

just a half hour ago
another got nailed...

while i watched so
the mystery is gone...

sparrows will land on
your shoulder because...

hawks avoid us and so
we're predatory protection....
