off he goes

an enormous bird sets himself

on the ledge of the fence.

a raven, a blackbird?
his eyes

are steeled orange.
his
claws

dug into the soft wood.
he seems in no hurry, in no

rush to find what he
needs to get through the day.

not a sign of worry
on his oiled feathered

face.
but off he goes, off he
goes.

spreading his learned
wings,
as we all do

at some point in the day.
