three robins
running through grass
each bright eye
reaching for sign
of worm or seed
bugsluggish
in the chilly dew
race forward
stop
utterly erect
exquisitely alert
senses extending
to grasp
the quiver of threat
cold menace
of hungry
intenta shifting
in the shadows
focused vigilance
fills the lungs
in each feathered breast
the heartthe wings
ever beating
with fierce courage
ready flight
instantaneous instinct
to escape
