Falcon and Gyrfalcon

The fire and the knife of bronze
are passing through the fields of corn
the lightning and the sword that winnows
go sifting through the wheat

The fingers of the weaver now
are walking in the warp the
weft the hunter's hands are
shaping horn and hide

The whetstone and the spears appear
and the oil for the shields the tower
stands on spoiled ground and
Abel cries aloud
