The Merlin Hawk
by Richard L. Provencher

is a scuffle of feathers
worn from journey's daylight

through morning mist, past
sleeping sheep
above a few mules, she
drove against
the wind.

Exhausted wings drew
her to the sound of early chirps.
Red Polls, Sparrows, Finches
even tattoos from a
Hairy Woodpecker caught
her attention

a snack or two presenting
itself. Then decides,
without fanfare nor
nasty intentions,
releases to other spaces.
