Sitting in a tree above the kill

After the wolf's successful hunt
One that the ravens watched
Entire saga, beginning to end
The ravens now wait in trees
In a way they stalked the hunter
As she had also stalked
But this hunt has failed
For though they are hungry
The hunter is fleet
And brings home her prize
Leaving nothing for the ravens
Who now watch and chatter
How victory for one
Is a defeat for an other
Leaves a bitter feeling
And their hunger still calls
Loudly, even painfully
