the sight of a solitary hawk
in a mangrove
as the kayak slips up
fifteen feet between our eyes
as they meet
her or his eyes
head & shoulders above
peering down
no image
no prey
i move on
ibis
clustering
along the
intercoastalstanding their ground
pecking forever pecking
where the grass
is always greener
osprey waits
on a barren
branchhead jerking east then west
the most patient will prevail
or to each
according to their need
