Ravenous
If I have one, I'd simply want two.
Dozens of squirrels leap through my yard,
studying the tree flowers downed by the rain.
Some chance going across the road
in search of greener pastures.
One is flattened in the process.
A lone crow discovers it.
He glances around,
then goes for the eyes,
the very best part,
plucking one out like an offending grape.
His beak now bloody,
he stretches his tar feathers,
and still does not call report to his murder.
