late winter

the hawk’s red tail

in afternoon light

16 February 2025 (all-day snow)

all-day snow

a flurry of crows

around the perched hawk

12 January 2025 (snow glare)

snow glare —

a flock of crows orbits

the perched hawk

12 February 2024 (winter disquiet)

winter disquiet

a red-tailed hawk circles

and circles the sun

9 February 2024 (perched hawk)

a perched hawk

watches over a vacant lot

winter fatigue

29 January 2023 (hawk)

January thaw

a red-tailed hawk waits

on a guardrail

11 June 2022 (highway)

highway heat . . .

passing cars reanimate

the dead hawk’s feathers

15 November 2021 (stick season)

stick season

we follow the red-tail

to its perch

21 November 2020 (red-tail)

a red-tail’s last pass

late light illuminates

the barren hillside

14 November 2020 (hawk)

burnished fields

a red-tailed hawk hovers

between seasons

10 February 2019 (hawks)

countless mile markers

along the interstate

eighteen perched hawks
