Raptors Chase
A broken wing in death’s chicane Where pigeons fall unending pain A blinded flock to circle down As fangs await both wolves and hounds While far above a falcon stalks Vision prescient it never balks A broken wing once clipped in fear the raptors chase —with canids near (The New Room: October, 2023)...

Be Kind To Falling Raptors
Be kind to all my fallen failures. Even when I’ve burnt my house down? Even when I’ve broken homes in two? Even when I am guilty of misbehavior? I’ve experienced downward spirals mangled Everyone deserves an upward trajectory Keep my wings up at a shallow angle Easy raptors ride the thermals in glory After guilt weighs us down, tales begin Higher and higher altitude...

Fierce Raptors
The sun was shining, when the raptors flew across the sky. As blue as water in the carribean. They flap and squawk. As they were chasing a white pigeon to a mahogany tree.

Raptors
The raptors squawk instead of talk Across the city bridge Their screeches carry on the wind To ears they want to reach They hop like birds with heads that bob Converging with their friends They compare scraps That they have tapped On gestures they portend A daily dose of basic smack And a hostel is their aim Finding punters to comply Is the object of the game “Try’n...
