Resting On A Very High Cliff Ledge (Septilla / Spanish Septet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Resting On A Very High Cliff Ledge (Septilla / Spanish Septet)



(after Ted Hughes)

Resting on a very high cliff ledge
my instincts are very sharp, at an edge,
while below me the world lies open-end,
as prey is caught by my telescopic glance
even if they hob, skip and away dance;
suddenly both my wings does straining bend,
of killing I have the greatest knowledge.
