Rev 2 (accidentally erased Rev 1)
Totem Bird
My birth month has a totem bird
with wide wingspan and gripping claws.
At first it simply seems absurd.
An earthbound man, unlike a bird,
my flights are mental, free from laws,
without wingspan or gripping claws,
but in a way I'm like the bird:
Launched for prey, the perfect word.
Totem Bird
He hears his birth month has a totem bird
with wide wingspan and gripping sharpened claws.
At first it seems just silly and absurd,
but learning that his birth month has a bird
suggesting he’s not always self-assured,
he compares ideal heights with earthly flaws,
soon confident the eagle is his bird:
Both fly for prey when sprung by sharpened claws.
L8: for prey replaces from earth
