Flight

A thunderbird
strikes up
into the sky
wings blurring
an earthborn comet
eliciting
a flurry of
flapped fleathers
and harried squawks
dilated pupils
below the dirt
is steadfast
but the air
absorbs
vibrations
all the silence
the placidity
is consumed
by a frenzy
scattered
and here lay
the known way
and there falls
the presumed all
and shrouded in the storm
of wings
and beaks
and chirps
is yesterday
