Eagle

Where do you fly, my love?

How could you leave me here again

in summit high bereavement?

At night I gently lift

the pieces, fold them,

mould them, make them 

whole once more

and wait with breath held

for the rising of the distant dawn

until, at last, I see -

my soaring nemesis

approaching winged

and growing closer

framed against the sun.
