Raiders

Raiders

Two raiders soaring high

circling and surveying

flowing in effortless glide.

One guides, the other tracks

copying movement with instinctive elegance

constantly climbing.

Observing in slipstream

haloing, in exploration

curling and combing

pending sudden spur

and darting dodge

a ruckus and a wrangle

left one in splendid flight

to scour, desire

and plunder.
