The Poet: Lynn Ungar, “Hawks”


“Hawks”

“Surely, you too have longed for this-
to pour yourself out
on the rising circles of the air
to ride, unthinking,
on the flesh of emptiness.

Can you claim, in your civilized life,
that you have never leaned toward
the headlong dive, the snap of bones,
the chance to be so terrible,
so free from evil, beyond choice?

The air that they are riding
is the same breath as your own.
How could you not remember?
That same swift stillness binds
your cells in balance, rushes
through the pulsing circles of your blood.

Each breath proclaims it-
the flash of feathers, the chance to rest
on such a muscled quietness,
to be in that fierce presence,
wholly wind, wholly wild."

~ Lynn Ungar

thanks Mr Ungar,thanks Paf
how did you know Paf,
that I will return in my afterlife as a hawk?
can't imagine anything more free
than being able to soar effortlessly on the wind

I have heard you also effortlessly cut wind.

You are not freedom in doing that.

I'll be you were real popular in the holds of the ships you served on while at sea.

We'll try to straighten up and fly right. Though, I have my doubts as to BB's winging it that far. He's a featherweight.

BB is no fledgling, even though he flies by the seat of his pants, he wouldn't intentionally fowl anything up. His thoughts are swift, he could just wing it, and handle this owl by himself, he won't duck and weave, or chicken out, that's something to crow about, hoot a thunk it, but me. However, if he can't, and he gets hurt, I'll send you the bill. Toucan play this game, we'll just take terns.
