Flight of Sacrifice

flight-of-sacrifice

Head turned,

ear pointed to the ground,

She listens.



Her silent prey,

oblivious to the search

of this predator,

languishes in the ground.



A stab of precision

guided by millions

that came before her

brings them together.

flight-of-sacrifice

She springs,

a graceful beast of flight

returning home.



Her waiting brood

waits impatiently.

Blind to her needs,

they demand her bounty.



flight-of-sacrifice

She surrenders herself:

their rising glory

at her expense,

the day not far off

when they will take her place.
