I saw
the eagle fly
a black spot riffed
upon the colour
blue
around
around once
she went
around again
a wider arc
this time
high as . . .
the sun is high
I close my eyes
against the brightness
of that light
a black spots
the eagle flies
I feel her wings
drifting
across the world
in my mind’s
eye

It’s remarkable to watch an eagle in the air. Still distressed from learning of the ongoing mass slaughter of the birds over here.

I’ve been thinking of eagles because of a recently reported slaughter – 76 eagles and a number of other raptors. Happens a lot, it seems.

They have a bad reputation with some farmers. I suspect it dates back to the 1800s, actually. Vendettas against them seem to be almost pathological and difficult to prove in a court of law,.
