Your wheel eyes stare

Soft feathers steady your body,

Feet reach forward

Toes and talons stretched

You swoop

Then up

Pushing down strong wingbeats

A small mammal caught,

Food for yourself or your fledglings.

Soft you whisper across the darkening landscape,

Home to the old barn.

Thunder

Thunder unravels the sky

Lightning flashes coruscate over the ruins

The world spirals around you.

Forcing the trees to bend down to your power.

Thors hammer beats the ground.

Another flash, a bough falls.

Stones crash and crump

Thudding down onto the ground.

Your hands conduct a symphony of gestures.

One more flash, then you are gone.

Stare
