Bird On A Wire
Migrants coming through
Backyard birds nesting
Constant motion at the feeders
Appeasing avian hunger
Small birds in the pines
Pyracantha, Spanish broom
Then, midday silence
Nothing moves
The answer on the powerline
Cooper’s hawk overhead
Later, in the evening
Feathers on the gravel
Unkind hawk, flying free,
Has moved on
(Song: Bird On A Wire, Leonard Cohen, 1968
