Hawk Roosting Flashcards
Top of the wood
Physically up, power over nature
In sleep rehearse perfect kills and eat
Violence, power, hunger /greed
Convenience/!/advantage/ face upward for my inspection
Designed to suit hawk, sinister and tyrannical, enjoys power
“Took whole of creation to produce my foot”/ “now I hold creation in my foot”
Superiority complex, control over creation, pride, hard work to create the hawk but nature and god seem weak now,
I kill where I please because it is all mine
Monosyllabic shows control, possessiveness, ownership
My manners are tearing off heads
Oxymoron, juxtaposition, shocks reader, graphic, violent
The sun is behind me / nothing has changed since I began/ going to keep things like this
Self importance, sun works with hawk, absolute power throughout existence, sense of certainty, arrogance, control
