Angel of Death
Splendor
Black winged angel
Feathery banded tail
Midnight necklace on snowy chest
Fiery eyes
Circles
Watching waiting
Hover, missing nothing
Dancing gracefully in heaven
Ready
Diving
Raging bullet
Plunging towards the target
Thinking only catch, grip, squeeze.
Focus
Prepare
Feet up, head down
Gliding on angled wings
Black hooked beak lets out hunting call,
Surface
Reaching
Barbed talons grasp
Feel flesh under hard scales
Clutch the plump, wretched, squirming beast
Smell blood
Wing beat
Rising up, out
Don't relinquish the prize
Heaven nears slowly, reach cover
Holding
Death grip
No escaping
The ultimate ending
Within angel's talons lies death
Bring life
