road kill

how the vultures
wait
with patience
learned
through centuries
of waiting
for life
to die
by the side
of the road.
cloaked
in long black
coats,
sharp beaked
and wary.
slow to the feast,
cautious
on yellow claws,
there is no
wisdom, no
judgment, they are
just another
part of what
a dying world
needs.
