to the feeder
bright as a daffodil

through feathered cold
how night lingers on the window

even
in stillness

eyes as wide
as the sky
pre-flight deliberation

merciless nature
nothing escapes the end
except beauty

Fine Lined Cold
winter draws
flourishes and finery
with a subzero stylus

frost’s filigree
elaborates
the arctic morning

their
feather edges
serrated with frost

with cold
the world obscured

stalking fish
warrior feathers
on ruffled heron
