Swoop by Stephen Leake

Swoop


So they arrived, over the window,

Flying into my marooned frame


Suddenly. Their eyes radiating

Through the iron drifts of cloud;


Their voices, grazing the air.

They brought memories of words


In their worldly beaks and I ran to

Them …seeking refuge in their


Flight-paths, their lost discords.

Now, mere gasps in the strengthening


Wake of light.

Just wanted to say that I checked out your poetry on your site you linked to your post and really truly love it. I think your poetry has a cadence and depth to it that is often missing from modern poetry. I am ordering your book from Amazon and hope many others do likewise. Good luck fellow poet.
