One day, a falcon feather
fell like an anvil on my head
of water;
the splash dripped and bathed my soul,
and,
now,
fully realizing the weight and might of nature
on my insubstantial self,
my head grew bone;
my fingers,
new feeling on once deadened flesh,
and the life-clock reset
to my natural weight and density,
wholesome now in this mantled cloak
of new identity;
light, yet free of falter;
this feather commanding me (unknowingly)
to wake from slumber those (as I before)
with heads of water.

One day, a falcon feather
fell like an anvil on my head
of water;
the splash dripped and bathed my soul,
and,
now,
fully realizing the weight and might of nature
on my insubstantial self,
my head grew bone;
my fingers,
new feeling on once deadened flesh,
and the life-clock reset
to my natural weight and density,
wholesome now in this mantled cloak
of new identity;
light, yet free of falter;
this feather commanding me (unknowingly)
to wake from slumber those (as I before)
with heads of water.
