Released.
Unleashed from restraint the falcon lances
through cloud to clear sky.
Hood-free and keeperless wide wings tackle
first ground-to-air flight.
Capped to near blindness fierce eyes strain
to reconstruct sight.
Leathered claws in raptorial fashion disdain
a glove's clasping vice.
Released into diurnal space predator eagle
scans green horizon.
Unlocked shackles permit pinions to wheel
above diving height.
Tetherless a dynamic hawk glides to ether
with feathered delight.
Oh to give every caged bird un-tied speed
to rightful birthright.
