I woke to the single cry
Of a bird being snatched by a cat
Just outside my window
I could feel its hunger
My stomach growling
And the helplessness of that
Bird as I lay dreaming
And when I rose and walked
Out into the perfect weather
Still hungry still helpless
A strange calm I found in the yard
The light silently breathing me
And there a beautiful feather lay
Just enough to go on
