The Eagle Woman is made of shale

Men like granite who glance her way

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

Unfolding,

Her little beak ga...

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...

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.
