The sky burst
overhead like
too many
albatross
twirling in
the thermal
boom
Apoplectic eyes
brimmed
with loft
unkempt
and convex
brows
of glides completed
turned
above
to trace
the throes
of an imminent
companion
Screaming tail
and waxed
bones
dripped to the
foam
when plucked
and thrown
to the arching
currents
it went!
And deep below
absence of
being
did little
to stifle
the rise
of heart
at a doom
avoided
