The Eagles

The eagles can never know

The secret of the volcanoes 
When they seemingly fly carried
By the sliding winds 
Over cupped peaks of mountains
With the fire of their anger inside
Smoldering in the carcass of history

The eagles doesn't understand why

The green still suckles the spring's teats
And why the scream can be an echo
And the echo can be a scream.

But the eagles can hear

The cubic rocks which roll for rolling out
Their song
And the brook ripples which fall 
With murmuring sound

And the eagles can see

The winding forest path
Which is apparently suspended
Like hanging wall thoughts 
On the slope fringe
In a rock bizarre climbing story.

Eagles remained as a symbol only good poetry, Marieta. Plastic and shaped poetry in American Poetry is like the eagles - on extinction. But history remembers green)))
