Swallow Symphony

Swallows take flight

wingtips pitched on the precipice of lift 

only a fringe of feather, a warble of wing

to defy gravity

wings curved to lasso the wind

tail rudders daintily a-flutter

they become the seamstress of the sky 

looping swooping curving and capering 

tiny maestros of roll and yaw, pitch and lift

they effortlessly stitch heaven to earth  with endless exquisite precision
