uncanny in death,
the little owl's clenched talons-
more bunny than bird
*****************************************************
My neighbor called me over today to see a little dead screech owl he had found and asked me to take its picture. Hiroshi has a particular tenderness for owls, and even helps band saw-whits at a certain time of year. He told me this little fellow had most likely been gotten by a cousin, the Great Horned Owl, who often eats only the heads of its victims. Nature red in tooth and claw indeed!
Haiku for this week's Haiku Bones theme of uncanny.
