high above the earth
the stoop begins
wings pulled in
response to sensing
movement on the ground
sensors sensing more
accurate than human
they zero in
the prey
high above the earth
the dive begins
dead prey walking
the earth now, but
soon to be fodder
for the superior,
the mover, the diver
it zeroes the
target
falling, turning
reaching inhuman
speeds, moving with
inhuman accuracy,
seeing with inhuman
eyes the inhuman
flying machine
readies for the
strike
closer to human
ground, revealed
the falcon strikes
and in front of God's
eyes the sparrow falls
the blur becomes
the falcon
I thought it fell
in front of God's eyes
but it was just my
own
