Kestrel
A Kestrel
motionless,
warm in shell.
---
A Kestrel
motionless,
roadside hunter.
---
A Kestrel
motionless,
behind glass stuffed.

Why?
--+--
Is it because sometimes
to be alive is to be solid
in your place with no desire
to be elsewhere,
is it because the defining
moments in our lives
are those that stand still
long enough for the camera
of our minds to capture them?
or is it because Kestrels
are lazy gits?
