This falcon sits on the wall
The brick darkened dull inane
It sits enjoying the rain
It's glare sharp and hard
Looking down into the stockyard
for an easy meal about
One that would run out
Between the piles and equipment
Unaware something was different
Not noticing the diving bird
The rush of wings unheard
Then it catches it in its mouth
Return to the wall top beady clout
Severing the creature it pounced on
Devouring it into chunks ensconced
And digesting it gloriously down
the pitter patter sounds
all rodents stay hidden
So the appetite grows
Blood in the bitten
The dying mouse and bad weather
Warms the falcon heart under the feathers
