Big black bird
kills
little brown bird
right before my eyes.
Grabs him,
and snatches him,
and carries him
to the rooftop across the street.
Plucks him
like a worker
in a chicken factory.
Feathers
fall
on to the ground below.
One minute alive.
The next dead.
Not the day he expected
to have,
I imagine.
