January Hawk _ new poem 2024 January

January Hawk

A big fierce fast hawk
Intending to pluck from the flock
Sink in its talons and clutch secure
Not even requiring any kind of lore
- the analysis of life -
A typical everyday routine flight
Which way could this go
Morning cold wind and snow
On the hunt in our backyard
With the bird feeders, is it hard?
Feeding the birds so they survive
Everyday is a chance to be alive
And this is not transactional for me
I feed the birds and let them be free
It's not a question "to be or not to be"
Feeding the birds helps them thrive
So we listen to the bluejays cry
Sounding a loud persistent alarm
Warning a Hawk will do serious harm

At the Banks of the Confluence _ new poem 2024 January

"At the banks of the confluence" I heard at 7a on @cbspittsburgh KDKA+ Friday morning
And all of a sudden this poem created itself complete with a melody borrowed from the wet earth on the boot heel from a cousin of a steamboat captain who was a musician who took a carriage from the wharf
