These are just some of my birds.
I have birds all over the house-
outside too. I have wood birds,
ceramic, felt. Puzzled birds.
Sparrows built a nest in the
side porch roof.
Bird teapots and bird cups array
some of my book shelves.
But, what I don’t have anymore is
the hawk that hung around. It wafted in
low and landed close to the house or
perched up high in the trees in the
back woods. I haven’t seen it for at least
two weeks.
I’ve seen hawks when I drive- I wonder
out loud-Are you my hawk?
I don’t know if I am fond of birds or not.
But I liked the hawk. I don’t know why
he took off.
