Columbian cheveche creates conflict
At the zenith of flight
Muscle meat taught against tendons

Beneath, a beach on which, a weasel
Greedily grabs for fishy food.

The dark-crowned screech owl swoops
Dropping down, daring the weasel to run.
Struck aghast, slay of weasel on its way?

Amber owl above brings carnage
Talons making ready to mangle the meat.

Fleeing from flight, folly is made
Family and friends of weasel
Form fortification for him.

Owl observes efforts,
Verily in vain assumes winged wonder.

Swooping speedily slaughter is nigh,
Rodents ready for rebuttal
But feathered fiend feigns and strikes from flank.

Prepared posse is pummeled,
Legs and limbs lain out upon the ground.

Carnage completed, cheveche feasts.
Wily weasel worked wonders,
Alive after attack, runs from fallen friends.
