Colca Canyon Condor Haibun

POEM: Crow in a Combative Stance
metallic beak —
rough striations worn smooth
like rough iron, burnished
feet planted wide–
one fore & one back,
in a combative stance
head low —
beak pointed accusatorily,
swiveling to resettle the eye
then, with flapping wings,
it’s gone
