Wight

Today's word is "wight" ... Active, nimble.

Oh
What was that falcon hunting
in her backyard? Just sitting
in the tree, watching with his
large eyes for some small
movement. It was his first
time there, as far as she
knew. The wightly bird did
not claim this neighborhood
as his own; it said so on
the internet. He only stayed a moment ...
long enough to be seen, but
not known ... like some
sort of sign. Like an
announcement that if
you're patient, or just lucky,
you might discover
wonder in your own
backyard.
