Predator
Predator A set of razor teeth In a raven’s beak Of a maw of wreak Sensing the weak To shut tight its grasp Holding fast in clasp Outstretching its wings Raising head with limbs Orchestrating strings Splaying out feathers Laser red eyes Piercing the brush Prey will not wait For very long To be takenContinue reading “Predator”

Outsider
Outsider I drove past you yesterday. I saw you at the Local cafe. I noticed someone That could have been you Walking on the overpass. I’m sure it was you Sitting at a table by yourself In the atrium.
