scales

Falconers eyes are like scales
weighing the sun and moon-those
of the falcon prison gold bars, wings
-two arks. The moon weighs icebergs
and deserts-it has two spaces to calculate
life and death-it's breath and that of the
sun intermingle. Tales and myths are
preserved in a birds flight. The sun, moon
and the falconer have their hands on gold
prison bars.
