We came to see them.
The sky was so unsheltered
the air so towering.
I think I saw one
circling the horizon.
Really just a shadow,
like a national myth
exiled, emarginated.
We wanted to experience
a wilderness majesty
but the cameras and binoculars
captured something else
a ghost in the lens
a distant symbol
flying towards legend.
Something rare now
but free at last.
