Wolf and Osprey
Wolf sneaks up on finch. Grabs her in his
canines. Osprey avenges finch. Snatches a
hare from the glade. You fool, wolf howls,
that hare meant nothing to me. Osprey
swallows last bit of meat, says, Wasn’t that
your dinner for tomorrow? Obviously, she
was something to you. Wolf and osprey
tango. Blood flies like ideas, wounded flesh
exposed. Both predators exhausted. You fight
well, osprey huffs, but I still win. Wolf glares
at bird, asks why. While we were tussling,
my brothers stole your pups.
Moral:
Avoid poppy seed bagels or they won’t let you
take your preemie home from the hospital.
