9779 - The battle hawk

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

The master of hawks
knew very well
that this hawk
was not typical at all
it was coming from Morias
and had experienced
the terrible battles
of liberation
so, he examined
the tiniest of its wounds
with the gravest attention
out of fear of hurting it more
but the hawk remained
immobile
that deep was its trust
to this master of Auvergne
who was already preparing himself
for new battles
in the Sacred Land.
