Raptor's Congress
Raptors’ Congress
Once in the dry, thin air above Bulawayo
I saw birds of prey circling,
hawks, falcons, eagles, all types,
hundreds flying in the high stillness,
layers of them, the highest
disappearing as specks in the blue.
In the evening, I walked in the wild,
and the trees were laden with raptors.
