Noble Convergence by Alison McKenzieStruck by thunder
As the red-tailed hawk
Delicately settles,
Inclines his majestic head to womb,
Unfurls one wing,
Beseeching my caress.
Brilliant strength
Humbled by cull,
Crest and crush of apotheosis;
I am honored, out of sync.
Tears, hot and coarse
Land on song of flight,
Linger in the veneration.
Daughter, rememberer.
