Remains

Remains of a bird, killed by a predator, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona

after the kill
a handful of feathers—
sacred remains

  To be honest, I like the photo better than I like the haiku!

Poignant and yes, reverent. I like this. It reminds me of a personal and somewhat mystical experience of my own. I’m including a link here — in case you’re interested in reading about it. If not, feel free to delete this message. ❤
