The darkened eagle's iris
pitched into the blue of the sky,
scanning the thriving peripheries below.
Reflected off the ebon shield
of its unyielding stare
the great, wild world curved
below its hooked talons.
2
Gnarled and blackened oaks bulged
with tumorous, distended trunks
sunk softly sucking slowly up
the sweet spoiled meats
decomposing in the graveyard.
3
In this hungry dominion,
the desert hare is spared
from the red-tailed hawk
the hunter's gun has felled.
The darkened eagle's iris
pitched into the blue of the sky,
scanning the thriving peripheries below.
Reflected off the ebon shield
of its unyielding stare
the great, wild world curved
below its hooked talons.

Back in May of 1994, a friend of mine declared life could not come from death. His declaration spurred me on to write this poem, which is dedicated to him.

Hello Friend,
I love your poem about LIFE AND DEATH-The darkened eagle's iris
pitched into the blue of the sky,
scanning the thriving peripheries below.
Reflected off the ebon shield
of its unyielding stare
the great, wild world curved
below its hooked talons.
