Death Of A Vulture Poem by Karen Esperanza

Death Of A Vulture



He spends his life,
in a constant watch.
We watch him too,
we watch him stalk.

Those acquainted with the ground,
watch those acquainted with the sky,
we wonder if what we see is a lie.
How can a vulture fly that high?
His wingspan lies, his wingspan lies!

Swooping low,
we see him close,
we cut off his deceit.
Inside our minds,
he is dying now,
but still our rot, he eats.
