Columbian Carabo starts a conflict

At the zenith of flight

Muscle taught against tendons

Beneath, a beach on which, a weasel

Greedily grabs for fish.

The brown tawny owl swoops

Down, daring the weasel to run.

Struck aghast, is a weasel slaying on its way?

Amber owl brings carnage from above,

Talons ready to mangle the meat.

Fleeing from flight,

Aid in form of fellow weasels

Form fortification for him.

Owl observes efforts,

Verily in vain assumes winged wonder.

Swooping, slaughter is nigh,

Rodents ready for rebuttal

But feathered fiend feigns and strikes from flank.

Prepared posse is pummeled,

Limbs about the ground.

Carnage completed, Carabo feasts.
