The Stalk

[5letrword]

listening for the slightest sound
if anything
a whispering
of padded paw on leaf
a bird
watches attentively
for any sign
hopefully seen through keen eyes
missed
the consequences grave
vivid color
life or death weighed
in the balance of delicate limbs
the game plays out
cat stalks prey
with a rustling of leaves
hope for surprise
now unrealized
the cat
in sudden fury leaps
the bird tipped
takes to wing
and safely flys away
