Exercise from LAR Workshop #2

"Hawk became crow"

In bullet time, a moment stretched
over hours.

New pinions bunker oil black and shimmering
out of sharp bladed wing tips as if
an alchemy of viscera from predator to rook.

A spontaneous reincarnation
essential elements recast,
initiation into the murder,
a society of the ominous and the crafty, motto:
"Necessity is the mother of invention"
even when the necessity was unknown
before this moment.
