Unfortunately,
multi-talented individuals
arouse suspicion and jealousy
in single-talented people.
ღღღ
Talonted
She talks as much
to obliterate the silences
she creates by stopping
as to talk:
'God, who art in heaven,
where's my sharp tongue
that's launched a 1000 quips -
why hast Thou forsaken me? '
She is at a loss for words,
she fidgets all night
and sleeps on eggshells.
He listens
more to entrap with
a tabula rasa
than to hear.
Elusive, he circles
like an eagle
above it all.
Powerful talons,
retracted in his feet,
stand ready to pounce
on her misspoken words.
'Gotcha! '
On a nearby cliff
he alights besides a nest
where excited eaglets
clamor for words.
In measured teaspoons
he regurgitates her
misspoken words
into their tiny beaks
which hunger more
for his kiss
than sustenance.
Their belly's bloated
they sleep sated
with dreams of flying -
while he never sleeps;
he forever dreams awake.
Talonted, majestic, vigilant
he sits on his lonely crag
and scans the endless horizon
for his next kill.
