The bougainvillea rustles, and
a young Cooper’s hawk hops out
hoping for a sparrow.
The bougainvillea rustles, and
a young Cooper’s hawk hops out
hoping for a sparrow.
Standing still on this rain dark morning
I see light in one small corner of the sky
As if today our sun will rise in the northwest.
I turn toward hope, and then
the half moon and I watch three silent ravens
wing across the daylight sky.
