The Eagle Woman
The Eagle Woman is made of shale

Though she rises up to the thermals with wings that only God himself can capitulate.

The Eagle (To Be Read Aloud with Vigor)
Fastly, swiftly, we run our race
The fire burns as we keep up the pace
Fly across the sky at night
An eagle flying in the red twilight

Slow we flow
Slow like water
Slow like snow
How'd you know what your life's about
Up and down and in and out

The eagle's nest is hidden from
The eagle's si...

Maiden Flight

Delicious carrion of the Castle's Delight.
She opened her eyes to her mother's tale,
Unfolding,
Her little beak ga...

and chasing across the plains,
a rabbit skipping and laughing
at an eagle, in great pains.
But why's the eagle running,
surely he can fly?
Sadly he’s afraid of heights
and frightened he may die.
An eagle that can't fly,
well surely that's not right,
it's just like having an owl
who won't come out at night.
But then on...

jet fighter air war over the desert
DESERT CLASH
A murky dust laden night gives way to a searing
hot day over the barren desert.
Sun glints off metal many miles away
as aerial knights rise to do battle.
The Tigersharks get ready to fight
the Eagles in the coming battle.
Suddenly it starts as missile trails
dance through the sky and jets
leave contrails in the humid upper air.
