Ash Wednesday: The Great Hawk Cometh
Still
a gray hawk
and we are
one
and alone
and comforted
blanket me
that I may be quiet
and covered in all my sins
my bones are white and I
and everyone else can see
them popping through my
mortal flesh which is hushed by a dark cloak
fly down now
great hawk and give us
eyes to prey that we too may
sink into flesh after today
