In the winter I watch
as I see him scurry 
across the field of snow,
my wings open and I fly 
silent like a killer, he 
can’t see me but I can 
see him I fall like a bomb,
faster and faster with 
precision, I open my talons
I’m too late he’s gone,
into the snow now the white one
can get him.

As I watch he misses 
I stalk like he flys,
but I am swift and light 
crawling through snow
I hear him under the
soft white powder
moving fast,
but i’m faster 
following slowly I jump
plowing through snow,
red fills my mouth 
all I taste is iron 
but I missed,
it falls out of my mouth
my tongue.

I scurry for my life,
going as fast as I can
Tallons come though my home
I dip left
moving fast,
must run to survive 
snow topples onto me
red flys everywhere 
running for my life
