I saw a dead hawk today
smeared across the pavement
feathers covered in blood
still beautiful in death
body still warm in my hands
do his brothers
his kin know
will he go to some
other world
a great beyond
deep in the ether
where his ancestors
welcome him
will his mate
his mother
his children
finding him absent
search for him
grieve his death
do they cry
waiting for him to come home (C)MJR2014
