Bats

Enmity -- fallen brethren,
-- the peregrine's claw
has snatched many --
from storms -- winged bodies.

Eyes flash white, and why --
some run into snakes, -- eaten.
Fuel for cave economies
-- roach livelihood.

When light awakes, -- sleep.
Our height awakes, -- deep.
When night awakes, -- fly.
Our sight awakes, -- cry.
