Falcon Haiku

" 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...
