Erinys Erinys

Neither owl nor nighthawk, something more pre- historic: you won't find in the field-guide, its wide black vulture-wings that soar and glide invisible. But look across the full-moon. See the naked buzzard-head stretched out; cocked eye not for flesh ripe-dead, but spirit a-gape. Hours of dream is feeding-time. The nape exposed and memory bleeding. Times pass by, the Furies stay and circle, never quite stoop down on stinking pinions. Feathered quill each wing-tip inked indelibly. The hand remains your own; what sentence could you write to strike a word out? What has been is still — long after rising Sun lays bare the land.
