all her grace crumpled
among the highway litter
a small red-tailed hawk

haiku andy: the daily haiku actual postcard project 
Sad! One day my grandchildren and I stopped to pay last respects to a great-horned owl similarly brought low by a passing truck.
Broke my heart to see it. Such a magnificent creature deserves a better fate.
One of your best, Andy. The phrase “All her grace crumpled…” is genius.
