\nbetter than any drone,
\nfishing in the wind
\nfor small things.<\/p>\n
\ncould hunt dogs and lambs.
\nTake a child down
\nwith your fork and claws.<\/p>\n
\na kiss of earthworms,
\na crunch of rabbit bones
\na smear of roadkill, still warm.<\/p>\n
\nstripped, rubbish spilled
\nas you line your nest.
\nKeeping our secrets close.<\/p>\n
