Two Wings and the Wind
Folder:
365 challenge
Driving round the corner it catches my eye,
Face forward, flying high
No not flying, but lying sturdily aloft,
In a wind breast upping
Resplendently reclining, two wings at full flight,
Strides, gripping an egis,
Whose natural motion of gruff galloping muscles
Aiming at who and what,
For the soreness of the wind beats through a wooden door,
Tearing a house in two.
egis
