Albatross

 

Sailing the shifting geographies of the sky,

I captain the wind. Travelling with the ocean within my wings,

scanning the churning seas, I defy its rearing cliffs,

bloated-bellied monsters, fly beneath their drool-dripping teeth;

all contained in my eyes, their heaving guts, I soar, glide and swoop,

pull the jewels from their pockets.

On flattened wings I sweep from the edges of continents;

pulling the tides in my wake; see the sun over the horizon and follow.
