Big Black Bird and Little Brown Bird


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.
