DESCRIPTION
A Black Drongo's last flight
Citation preview
Black Drongo
Black Drongo,
King of Crows,
Bruised and Maimed
From a Lifetime of Fights
The crippled bird;
A poor imitation
Of what he used to be
Totters to freedom
Gingerly!
Battle scarred and wearied
He eyes the blue skies beseechingly;
Shaking off the clotted blood
And muck from his proud wings
Determined not to perch
Ever again
Summons up his breath
For the last Flight
He takes to the skies!
