eagle and I
are eye to
eye,

firebrand
smells roadkill,
puts a fresh-dipped
nub on her quill,

dirty deeds done
dirt cheap, lying on
caveman's back,
his ass caught
in a trap,

thief stealing spirit
feathers for his
war bonnet,

firebrand's firepower,
hiking cleats where
sole meets soul, AC/DC
rocks the cliff,

dirty deeds done dirt
cheap, eagle swoops
down to investigate
the bait, rabbit carcass
bleeds, rivalry feeds,

thermals favorable,
inside the pit lay
a quartzite artifact,
woman loving woman,
ancient firebrand built
eagle catcher from red
willow branches, lashed
sagebrush, waiting for
caveman in a virile instant
to reach hold of eagle
through the cover blind,

talons sharper than a
mountain lion's fangs,
firebrand's poetry hunger
pangs, she'll feed 24/7
crawling out of the ruins,
releasing the eagle skyward
to heaven,

airborne eagle screaming,
has hold of caveman,
pulls caveman from his
stance, firebrand's
firepower, hiking cleats
where sole meets soul,
AC/DC rocks the cliff,
eagle drops caveman
in cliff crevice, bleeding
consciousness, hundred years
after the transcendental meeting
of firebrand, caveman,
and eagle,

dirty deeds done
dirt cheap, lying on
caveman's back,
his ass caught
in a trap,

thief stealing spirit
feathers for his
war bonnet...
