among the aspen

high up grass mountain
deer grazed among the aspen . . .
late afternoon chill

bats and horny toads
live in their own little worlds . . .
and we live in theirs

circling high about
the hawk eyes a tail-twitcher . . .
squirrel gets a pass

Inspired by the poetry of Laz Freedman

made a break for it
and some big teeth slowed him up . . .
now he’s a free bird

close to the window
the feathered bee lights briefly . . .
away, hummingbird!

attending to birds
their songs beckon the sunrise . . .
cool air marks my face

now I see that bird!
bright red – hopping branch to branch . . .
hoping to impress

two cats in a blur
came screaming through the backyard . . .
gone before I knew

to the light I rode
dodging a small dead possum
no one cared about

circling far above
a graceful predator bird . . .
I look twice, she’s gone
