A surprise
Graced by the presence, magnificent,
of two bald eagles
Strength and beauty circling each other
in playful dignity over the river
Oh, for such a wingspan to take in the world, to embrace the globe’s rippling breath, to see the straightest line between two points and yet take the scenic route
They call to each other, to me
Come up here
And I want to fly away
Where?
Deeper into this earthbound spirit-ache and then perhaps out the other side
