a primal screech
raaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr
she sits perched on her terran egg
invisible til the active scream
dragons and serpents slither round
eyeing their ancient prize
she rises to stance
her solar wingspan touches planets
not yet named
sight circular and boundless
she outplays the predators
commanding their leave for they
will become food for her children
hungry for soul they tighten their circle
she beats her fiery wings setting scales aflame
ash flies draconids and serpenids shower the skies
calling out to her sisters
from the ethers they rise
their awakening shriek moves the waves of time
heralding a new age
her luminous spirit settles retreating to stillness
enveloping the world nest
protecting sustaining
blind featherless hatchlings
