Haliaeetus Pelagicus Perditus
paired for the season, I considered you forever
I flew so far, wings aching but spirit unbroken
hunting the sky for you and arriving only
somewhere unrecognizable, unmoored
my fear is that without you
this foreign land, for all its wonder,
with feathers merely like ours,
but not ours, and not yours
can never feel like home
