The buzzards circled with lazy interest in the death below them. 
The scent of the fresh kill rose to meet their brains, 
acrid and over sweet.


Merry Meet and Blessed Be

  5. Hey -- we all gotta eat, right?? :)

    And they do help clean up the land.

    I can see them tying their napkins 'round their necks. And swooping down!

  6. Sometimes when they circle me, I wonder what they know.

  7. similar imagery in the words and pic creates a dynamic tension that keeps pulling you back, even when your eyes have strayed!

  8. I knew I should have guessed what you were doing (below)! You were killing rabbits.

    And now those buzzards are taking turns at their remains. ;)
