Murder In Bird Land

Their shrieks woke me

Screams from the street

I parted the curtains

Dazed by the sunlight

And watched the scene


Two stood so calm

As others raged

Shouting and posturing

Enraged at the carnage,

Their fallen friend


I saw them gut him

Then remove his head

Left it under a slab

Escaped with his body

Struggled, the weight


And still they bawl

Too late to cry

I went back to bed

Shut out the sunbeams

Ignored their cries.


More tomorrow...
