snowcapped majesty, how he cleaves through the wind
with an icelike demeanor—stoic and proud, fearless -
it isn’t hard to see why the eagle is the symbol of
freedom, for who else but he, with his gaze piercing
its prey—frozen daggers impaling the flesh, the harsh
talons of a winter night’s embrace —but still I wonder:
does he see this badge we have nailed to his breast -
frozen white upon his mane—one he never asked for?
