Hark, the stir of wings.
Holding on to air
is the quickening sound;
don't dare interrupt the flow;
make quiet your watch, not caught.
The dignity of a spear
assaults the flowing tresses
bunched and pressed there;
leaning into the drifting breeze,
lithe with zip-twirl,
the road an airway;
it supped at bird-stop,
filled-up with sweetest fuel,
then stopped before my wonder-face
and dared the air between us.
Martie, those last two lines stopped me! it's lovely!
