Birds of Prey
A sharpened bearing
shrieks
brittle strength
while tearing
at the bonds of wisdom.
Keen intentions mark
clever mantles
with virtue
but fail to hide
the bruised flesh underneath.
Inescapably,
veiled corruption
will burst forth
in all its stinking glory
under the grieving eye of
truth.
This poem was mentioned in the Archival Review thread, in a picking through Lit's archive of over 38,000 poems.

but reading your poems today I felt a touch of Eavan Boland. She is not as terse as you are here, but reading your lines I thought of her.
