In Flight

She flies
soaring high
plains and forest below
and she
in a state of ecstasy

She flies
and remembering her young
she dives

She dives
eyes roaming the earth
they will be betrayed

She dives
closer and closer
the sunbathing snake spotted
readying of claws

He lies
basking in the sun
resting off desert rat

Sharp spikes tear skin
pain sears body

He flies

[1997]
