Raptor

Stars fading dawn in a crystal clear cloudless blue
The raptor cocked its head unblinkingly searching the ground
Coldly
Eying prey
Shutter speed fast, only a camera could catch
Stabs at the ground and swallows its food whole
Life is in disjointed moments strung together by knotted thread
When our time is done will we end up as a robin
Feeding on worms
That feed on the flesh of the was
Our personal histories only visible in light
In stands of dna left with no memory of our selves
Aaah,
Better get another beer,
This one is warm
