Seabirds and Waves

They cry through open caves,
plunge behind last raised wing.
What crashes into them
is the oceans voice beheaded.
They rollick on the verge 
of a rise and fall.
Indoor cats stare out of windows
as heckling seabirds tumble and dive
for shadows of sleek iridescence.
Those hunched upon the land
hear a kraken call
made small,
a throaty ravening, 
couched within the seas rolling tongue,
where the free freely hunt
the already captive,
the almost caught.

Ah, this part is so much fun! "Indoor cats stare out of windows as heckling seabirds tumble and dive" - this is the truth for sure!
