Lady Hawk

Hope Vigil-Alvarez

Supplicating
For
Transmutation
To
Become
A Joshua tree
A cebolla
A desert bloom
A hawk
Anything
To
Subsist
This
Scorching
Solar plexus
Of
Self-blame
Can’t exist
As human woman
Anymore
Cannot breathe
Stifling
Censure
Better to be
A hawk
A predator
Than
Predated
Upon
Soaring
Down
Screeching
To
Collect
My
Rations
Of
Scorpions
And
Snakes
Easier
To
Ingest
Than
Narrow-minded
Hypocrite
Judgements
My inhuman
Voice
Now
Intractable
To
Avoid
Counterfeit
Extrapolations
I despise lies
Go tell
Your envoys
And spies
Must
Take
To
The
Skies
Cannot
Acquiesce
Or
Remit
To
Smarmy
Pseudo-concerned
Judgements of
Sanity
Cease
Your
Block
On
My
Destiny’s
Sky
Or I
Will
Swoop
Down
To cause
Calamity
Beware
The
Sharpness
These
Are
Newly
Born
Talons
