"his hooded raptor"


from the ABC set ∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙god in the face

shed the cloak of light
disappear into shadow
walk amidst harsh thorns

black blindfolds surround
the seeing part of her mind
his hooded raptor

skin drinking in sound
as hearing is now taken
still, still upon perch

his voice upon wing
ascends entwined with her soul
her mind takes to flight

with one rush of air
her form transforms to senses
now! spirit is free
