dailies

on my way to work
she showed herself
on the branches
on the roof
cawing cawing
a flash of black
i had to duck
she went straight
for my head
a kamikaze
a blitz
of beak
and feathers
she chased me
for two blocks
and again
it happened on
the way home
when i forgot
her madness
her drive to protect
her nest her space
of earth
against my fumbling
presence
