THE FALCON
i gaze upward, something moves, something has caught my attention;
and what is it, if not a vague stab i feel
in my appendix
as i watch some falcon soar, descend...
yes, because it descends not to catch a prey
but it does so only
to rest tiredly on some ocean-rock
after another weak and useless hunt!
i should admire its magnificence
yes, i should,
but, as the falcon has not a prey firm in its beak;
no small rodent and no gasping fish;
so have i
nothing
but the air of modernity
lodged steadfast
in the grip of my bosom.
and what, exactly, is that to admire?
