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.
