Flying - Always

. "She is not earth tied - running, stumbling. No one has seen her hiding in shadows. Her fear is not here but spread below her A claustrophobic obstacle course Fetteringly beautiful in its surface beauty. She flies eyes down. She is a raptor. A predator preying on a wing and a prayer For those waiting, against the rocks beyond. They pray, while her prey, in turn, prays. Her hunt is no trivial pursuit but forever survival. It is the present that determines her future At the top of an interminable food chain." Inspired by Robert Frost, Escapist - Never and Tracy Decker's RSVPoetry contest... though, as it is not really a response, I don't think it qualifies LOL but I had great fun writing it.
