Passing Over

Please expand with a click.


Last Sunday in April, a motorless local,

No farming on Sunday, too early for church,

Bluets are giants of silence,

As tall as white turbines

Guarding the ridge without wind,

So bright the quiet,

I hear a hawk's wingtips

Carving the air as she passes

Over the trees black as memory,

Still leafless and reaching.
