THE HAWK, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Across the bristled and sallow fields
Last Line: Along the soundless horizon.
Subject(s): Birds; Hawks


Across the bristled and sallow fields,
The speckled stubble of cut clover,
Wades your shadow

Or against a grimy and tattered
Sky
You plunge

Or you shear a swath
From trembling tiny forests
With the steel of your wing—

Or make a row of waves
By the heat of your flight
Along the soundless horizon.
