Origins

Before my second

birthday


My father

came upon Eagle,

Eagle had a broken wing


She was so damaged

She could not live long

this way


My father tenderly

wrapped Eagle up in a blanket

and was off to the veterinarian


The veterinarians did all

they could

but Eagle did not

make it


Eagle had

passed

only minutes

when the power to the building

suddenly

went

out


Outside

Owl

had blown

a transformer

when he came to sit

near

and respect Eagle


This is my first memory.
