The Seal

Cowards
Cower,
Cold,
And cold blooded,
Crossed,
Cobra cowls
And hooked hoods
Treading water,
Threaded eye,
Howling,
And cracked crowns,
As crows dive deep,
Cackling,
Closing,
Covered,
Come up for air,
Rings,
And rods,
Release,
A murder of birds,
Below,
Water,
Beaks,
Bite,
Wet black,
Wings,
Shatter surface,
Sky struck,
Barriers blasted,
Obsidian feathers,
Span,
Out stretched,
And reaching,
Sun blotted,
By swarm,
And sack cloth,
Broken seal,
Bled red,
Triggered,
As rivers run,
Sudden.
