earth note 646


crossing over iguana highway
the eagle eye of a turkey buzzard
knows where the road leads
from the instinct of talons
     holding deeply held secrets
          dead or alive
out of mangrove thicket
without as much as a gesture
to the incognito
soft perfectly round intense eyes
     of the ibis
left to their elegance
group mentality
gentle curve of the beak
     to glean through the grass
