Wings clatter rise like embers
startle pigeons ungainly above
the birth of dark stars a paroxysm of crackle and whistle
a black wind of crow-widows
across this winter's impassive face
A gyrfalcon circles distant
eyes the crawl of metal beasts
a lone sky-wolf growls a storm
over the gnaw and griefbloom
of its sable soil But this is a bird
that nests on a cliff edge knows
the grip of a golden eagle
and so from tenebrae to the promise of light,
Dazhdbog is this a new sun
or only fire
what kind of dawn is this
