Raptor alone on high:
dull-black speck
against sky
a shade of deep yearning.
Somehow both bird and observer,
I am seeing myself up there:
alone, seeking,
soaring, desperately
not looking straight down
as if seeing myself there
so far away
from what I desire
would initiate
a dive to solid death
for both
seeker and watcher.
