RAID


A sudden stilling chills the lapse
before the fight. Sun beats beads
of heat on the three in one horrific

ball, dead against the guttered wall.
No movement from the day-late
runt, coffined by still siblings.

Yesterday’s cracked eggshells
grief the nest. Gulls mass
and perch alert on chimney cowls,

echoing a raucous chorus
from roof to roof. Wailing against
an unkindness of ravens.
