November pulls the daylight shorter
crisp long shadows
a cool moon
hallways of justice écho
will there be unfaithful electors
in this month of political aspiration
migrating birds begin their journey
when there is snow on the ground
they will come to the feeder
Today the hawk came
perched on the fence
I do not want to witness
hawk swooping
to squirrel or bird
or my small dog
the hawk
ready
with talons
and hunger
___________

Best set the hawk to the orange-crested scavenger roosting in the White House!
