earth note 322

mostly
the hawk in my neighborhood
is airborne
following the contours
of the hills & rivers
dropping down from time to time
grabbing up prey
making a sweeping exit
returning daily
for more

today was different
as we exchanged
glances
on the bare trees
across the avenue
     our hands are empty
     & our spirits
     awaken
