outdoors
looking
flash,dazzle

 

blink(ing) hard
my eyes
toasted

 

anxiety
second
second

half a dozen…

All te right elements were there! Sudden blindness is probably one of the most horrifying things I could imagine. The poem doesn't convey that though...

miles outside
sweeping [up]
moving
fast

 

speed
saves you

 

straight,
forward,
leap,
advance

 

seconds

 

and kiss [the sun]
on [the] way

 

fanning
flame[s]
fire [and] luck

 

brilliance
cosmic
clean

 

There were lots of movement words on this page and I wanted to use them. I thought they fit an eagle or a hawk and perhaps the emotions and feelings that it might feel as it soared. It's a little abstract but trying to translate another species emotions will do that to language...

scanning for beacons
[I] found the wrong
star.
Far, too far
north.

The river[s]
range[d]
over [and] out of
line.

Up
the blast[ed]
far side

Tumb[ling]
suddenly

Realiz[ing]
I had let
myself [go astray]

The way, [I] had
[been] warned,
[was easy to lose]

Not permanently.
I think,
I wanted.

 

I saw the word 'scanning' and 'star' and it made me think of navigation by stars. Then I saw 'wrong' and the idea to make the poem about being waylaid just fell together
