Food chain

The eagle perched
on my neighbor's stump,
is finishing off his morning dish
of salmon, fresh from the sound.
I watch him,
as he eyes his kingdom,
and pray he's just too sated
to consider going after
a middle aged
asthmatic cat
who's hiding in the nearby grass
finishing off his morning dish
of sparrow...
