Under the #shadow of the #birds - v2

Overtaken by them
a menace growing, slowly, rising,
driving southward through the city
focused on the traffic, the lights,
many miles to go.
 
A presence moving quickly
stalking all of us moving
lost in our inner thoughts
a future we fear, ready,
on the wing, the march.
 
Overtaken by them
sprinting from behind us
under the shadow of the birds
giant raptors looming, coming,
parting, climbing skyward.
