As a sparrow hawk,
Talons fully extended,
Time, devours all things.
Within the night sky
Blue moon beams on silver wings
Silhouette it's hunt
Silent death in strong talons
Wings you never hear coming
an osprey swoops down
plunges talons into creek...
flies up with small fish

Winged shadow over yellow moon
cold stars glow against deepening blue
Icy breath hovers like drifting steam
Silent talons end winters dream
I turn into a hawk
never an eagle
my talons are sharp
I love flying!
I soar as high as I dare
I touch the summer moon
the moon laughs
talons of a hawk
resisting second nature
claws start and finish

Shy
how does one handle
nude on the beach
extremities starfished
almost asleep
how does one handle
the talons, the beaks

Recluse at Coney
how does one handle
nude on the beach
extremities starfished
almost asleep
how does one handle
the talons, the beaks

An owl does not need to see its prey
He can hear a mouse six miles away
He dives through the night air with talons down
Nocturnal eater, the best hunter in town
perch, hears unseen noise
rotates its head full circle
silent flight snatch prey

Eagle's flight
at great height
prey in sight
running, fright
talons might
A meal sought
nature brought
lesson taught
never fought
rabbit caught
“So this is what it feels like to fly . . .”
was the last thought
that went through the snake’s head
just before the eagle
clenched its talons around it.
dawn’s barbed talons
slowly splay a sleepless night…
crimson scars
daybreak’s ruby blouse
softly drapes a diamond skirt…
morning dew
Below:
Vertiginous
fish, foraging for flies
that hover above the water
level.
Above:
An eager eye
calculating, swooping
down with deadly talons splayed for
killing.
broad winged soaring
talons open wide, ready
to feast on its prey

eagle
soaring above
drifting on wayward winds
descending down with talons out
fish caught

feeling every finger of the dusted crystal cold flicker through my down
talons extend
I grasp...clinch
rip moonward...
land and devour
with my survival...I nurture my young
talons clamp shrews head
body parts torn into shreds
agog owlets fed

White flies over white
In flight, yellow talons grasp
Mouse will meet his end.

She Waits.
Eyes catch movement -
Spreading her wings
She Glides.
Beautiful surrender -
Talons clutch his tiny body.
She Returns.
A tiny awareness -
He gave his life for mine.
She feeds.
Form:
a distant god
sits alone
watching
talons
itching to strike
circle
a silent hunger
drives the wolf
to hunt
hidden
in her embrace
a mother’s fear

Eyes with telescopic lens
Aerial majesty as it soars
Gliding on currents of air
Looking for prey above the clouds
Encircling prey before talons strike
Barn owl
silently swoops
spreading its wings, talons
wide with striking impact snatching
its prey.

A
Lone
Eagle
Flies high
Joined by a smaller male, calls
To him softly, come. Dives as if in water, chases
Calls, does cartwheels, swoops, fly high lock talons free fall separating before hits ground
