yard without birds
the air swept clean of sound
hunting hawk has cut through N.
alone on the icy bridge
the fast water almost black D.
Holy Mary carried
with the flow of chanting nuns,
rose over perfumed pine M.
rebirth in the laundry room
folding soft clean clothes N.
unseen critters of the night
patient through the short, dark day
spider beginning her web D.
kitchen, catching the same mouse
basement, husband letting him go M.
short critter
knocking over the birdbath
dog tracks in the snow N.
fast moving hare, quail
iced-in boot print, skunk D.
raccoon's glowing eyes
thee young ones and a mother
taking leftovers M.
sunlight on the torn bark
juniper's pink flesh, shining D.
in the dawn light
snow of many colors N.
two collared doves
This is a cool blend of voices. I had to smile at the wife catching the mouse and the husband letting it go.
