Beady eye,
Orange
Half-hidden in the green of the
long grass.
Scaled legs, talons. The curve
of a claw.
Descendant of a dinosaur.
Skilful leap, graceful stance,
The ruffle of feathered wings
Beating the air,
Purpose-full steps,
Feet unfurling,
The soft padding that
leaves
foot prints
Barely audible on the ground,
The suspended stillness,
Ever-watching, inquisitive,
Sly.
Without a sound
