Hawkeyes

My protectors are trailing me 
lifted on the breeze like gliders 
as I walk the deserted path 
alone. 
I have never been attacked 
but I have an imagination.
I look up, am sheltered by the dark
immense wingspan
six sentries in the sky 
watching out for me. 
This is what I imagine
as the earth greens under
a gray sky, in the still, cool air
of an early Spring dusk
when no one is walking in the woods
but me.
