Fear Of This Meeting Poem by obinna chilekezi

after that long flight
the eagle and its former nest
beacons each other once more …

the peril on the sun …
the cracker box loafer
the eagle has mingled with another nest
though with thongs of pains for reward
and its former nest an abode of a scorpion

the eagle smiles with a chat
to the former nest
and the latter in nodding, agreed

can the eagle come back
or away maintain its flight of thongs
as those of school lovers
after years of cold heart
and years of separated ways meet

the eagle and its former nest at a crossroad

should they in flight again go
or should they each other embrace?
