Falcon – an #improv #poem

Peregrine FalconPeregrine
not lost
just meandering
finding first
seeking second

Whatever
the pathway
it will be
found

Wings
pounding air
ka-kah!
The cry goes out
mournful it seems
filled with
bitter
longing

Fastening on
to its prey
my prey
the inner prey
of anger
and betrayal
I will hunt it downPeregrine Falcon
I will cry out in this
bird voice
warning it of its
approaching death

With the kill in
my talons
I will rise on the
morning wind
and soar towards
the horizon.
