• Temple of my youth
    overgrown with vine
    seeking refuge looks like giving up
    to people on the outside

  • I am a condor,
    one of the few
    I alight in the tops of
    ancient trees, build my home
    among the caves and cliffs 
    I hunt over mountains
    on currents that carry me,
    lift me high high above
    
    below I see
     movement
    not prey not a hunter;
    I find a new current,
    it lifts me
     higher into
    the big sky
