Hawk Among the Pigeons

What are the pigeons doing 

As they fly their circles in the air?

I see the Hawk among them 

Can he think he is one of them?

Or has he just eaten?

And feeling content to have company in his flight?

Or is he Looking for his meal,

Pretending to be one of them,

To fool them into a dance

Diving with them in the circles

And figure eights, and swoops

From the trees to the forest of the buildings

And back again.

Will there be one less of them

When the dance is done?
