Twigs for legs
It stands
On two claws
Beads for eyes
It looks
And then squawks
It resonates
Through the air
Heard from miles afar
Like a roar
It’s bloodline
That’s now eons apart
As it struts and clucks and pecks
It remembers the history that it reflects
A mighty beast
Tears flesh and meat
Predator of the land sky and sea
Eyes cut like knives
Chasing prey through the dark
The conductor
Of a ballad of screams
Now relies on the master’s daily feeds
Cleaning feathers
Brooding eggs all week
