hovers

this grand

wings attempt

contextually

almighty

of one free

I see from his

I am he for a

pockets and thermal

at the insistence of

and touch the only true

my flight feathers, feel

eons and eons and eons

clutching in towards the

me like water through air

drinking tins of beer you

with your retinas to recall

you will remember when

the forever of the world in

                                                  the colorado,

above

canyon

a vastness

equal to such an

chasm, if a ratio

bird : eternity,

eyes as though

second, lord of air

energy, sweep down

movement on cliff face

history with the tips of

the aching resonance of

of rivers and rivers and rivers

earth as I gain speed, you see

you perch up there like a toy bird

trace the angles of this depression

you take the measure of distance

you lie awake at night you will see

catch the light of my eyes in its glow
