Talons Poem by Michael Burch

Talons



Polish
by Michael R. Burch

Your fingers end in talons—
the ones you trim to hide
the predator inside.

Ten thousand creatures sacrificed;
but really, what's the loss?
Apply a splash of gloss.

You picked the perfect color
to mirror nature's law:
red, like tooth and claw.
