Hawk Eyes by Ben Schillaci

Every server crashed
while our thumbs wiggled as a reflex
natural light
windex
stinging nettle eye drops
made us remember
remember how to use our words
but we still flip the bird as reflex
and slowly we discover
that meaning isn't content it's context
and no body's a victim of a witness
and every meal could be blessed

Looking through the Hawk's Eyes
Seeing it from all sides

On your El Capitan free climb
have fun being right all of the time
a harness truth
like I said could become your noose
so keep it loose

When you're looking through the hawk's eyes
then you'll be seeing it from all sides
in a death spiral

Of love
of courage
reach above
the light will nourish
it may sound New Age to say to you
but it's the furthest thing from untrue
a harness truth
doesn't have to become your noose
