" Falcon Haiku "
by Suzán Jiván
for Anne-Adele Wight
I
Nearing extinction
while hacking and releasing
deep diving in flight
II
Returning to cliffs
after hitting its victims
launching, circling
III
Flying stealthily
spotting its targets below
skimming low, over
IV
Heavily fretted
abandoned nests, relentless
reintroduced broods
V
Eggs in a rude scrape
incubation, fed by mate
fledging in late May...
