......and I fly.......(vivisected/reposted......)

I come to rest
on
gargoylean
crags....

I stretch, flap,
spread
my wings....

....again in flight.....

I soar...

I
light
on
crusted patina...

this
corruscated
cuppola
my
unfeathered nest...

a momentary harbor
among the spires....

I survey
...above and below

scan the sky...
my eye
seeks out
the river's silvered ribbon....

I am safe, now....

......I lick
the blood
.....from
my talons....

I shake, ruffle
my tail feathers.....

.....one is loosed...

I watch
as
it
spirals
down...

it
lands
in
an alley way....

a child
picks it
from
the dust......

and I fly................

delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........

An eagle for sure. Here it would be a Wedgie (wedge-tailed eagle) - unbelievably beautiful with a wing span of two meters. Perhaps yours is a golden eagle, similarly proportioned and with a profile to die for! Your poem is a treasure and inspires this reader to lift her wings and dance. Glorious poetry. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
