A DECLARATIVE POEM

The hawk plays games in the sky.

He floats on the currents.

He trusts without knowing why.

The rabbit stands up on her hind legs.

She knows that her children could die.

The children can see the hawk’s shadow.

The rabbit stays totally still nearby.

The children duck down in the grass.

The hawk dives and makes a loud cry.

The children feel wind on their backs.

Which one is it that screams?
