Whose Domain?

A slight breeze wafts through
the forest understory, shifting
foliage to wag like a dog's tail.
Above, in the dense forest canopy,
a more robust wind thrusts tree
masts to a clacking dance.
The piercing whistle of a hawk
soaring through the dense blue sky
alerts the ground creatures to 
flee to refuge. Two dogs, one
high-pitched in its excitement 
of the chase, the other baying
as a more certain hunting instinct
closes in, skirt and leap at the 
base of a bark-shredding old
pine, as above, a cheeky red
squirrel scolds their presumptuous
presence, feral creatures in a
distinctly wild-animal domain.
