Flight!

This week's piece from Flight!, the performance piece that started in lockdown and which features birds and migration, is about ravens. 

The Ravens – protectors of the future

Raven duo, eagle-agile,

thrust and parry,

tumble-turn.

Battle, sky wards!

Black-burned raven-fall.

Icarus-winged. Wind unfurled.

Raven duo, eagle-agile,

Turn and harry.

Battle-shorn.

Upwards, sun wards!

Black-burned raven-fall.

Icarus-winged. Wind unfurled.

Raven duo, eagle-agile,

Turn and tumble.

Falling. Silent.

Seawards, sea wards.

Black-burned raven-fall.

Icarus-winged. Wind unfurled.

Raven duo, eagle-agile,

Snatch the wind,

Odin-seers!

Homewards, home wards! Home.
