THE EAGLE by Jamiu Ahmed



THE EAGLE  

At brink of a blind earth 
Under a moonless night 
Where all eyes are lost 
Eagle; a known stranger crept in
 to rob off a hen's chick.
The hen in agitation; jumped up
& down, struggling for a lost battle. 
The eagle stone-shot the dark sky
A flying bat fell down & died again.
“Nobody sees me” 
It muffled to the heavy winds
But, heaven stood still, watching.
