The Osprey's Call

Must the animal mind seek to possess all beauty
and at what cost?
Must desires consume all that is
and all that might have been?

A single osprey with clinched talons rises from the death of another.
His shriek carries all the Earth’s desires echoing through the red canyon.
“Yes,” calls the osprey, “yes!”
