I Know Why A Caged Bald Eagle Squawks
Thursday, June 11th, 2020A trained eagle dives
in the body of the gust
and flaps upstream
as the flow continues
until it snips its beak
at the purple mountain peaks
so wanting for swig of a beer.
The caged eagle squawks
with a tearful shrill
for this is known
as it is their their thrill
and this dissonance deafens
about their pilling bills
as the caged eagle
squawks for another beer.
