Pall Bearers for Roadkill

Dark congregation
descends upon the fallen
to carry them home

I was inspired to write this after I noticed a group of black vultures gathered around a medium-sized animal (probably a small deer) on the side of the road. It was not a feeding frenzy. Four of the birds looked as if they were standing in a line to pay their respects. Two more were at the corpse and looked as if they were kissing it (they were actually eating it). I saw it as a beautiful display of nature taking nature taking care of its own. They were reclaiming the victim and bringing it back to nature. This picture was taken later of a similar situation.
