Unnumbered III


numerous birds of prey
diving, driving, speeding, hungry
hooked beaks reeking of blood
hunting prey with flawless eyesight
and awesome precision.

the accuracy, the precision, the precession, the kill
tearing limb from limb, tearing life out
leaving husks, leaving hulks
black-tipped, red-winged, blue eyed slits

faster than i can run, before i can think
i am in clutches of scissored hands
i can feel the material se per atin g
