watching the sky



the hawk circles
morning and evening
against bright summer blue

riding in the car
i look up
just in time to see her

wings stretching full span
looking effortless
from my window

she descends only
when hunger brings her
or nightfall summons

beautiful and wild
does she have any idea
how majestic she is?
