Hawk King
By Wanda Darlene Campbell

How is it now
you have plummeted
in your youth?
Your colors,
faded feathers
left in window light
too long?

Your wings flashed
as you circled,
sparring a flock of crows,
your courage,
your voice,
a drummer's song.

Now your instrument
lies silent,
home for spiders and dust
and you,
the soaring hawk spirit
I cannot bury.
