1.
change lane—
crows pecking a dead mole
on the road

2.
spring dizzily
black crows glistening
in green grass

3.
shadowed in sunset
crows perching and squawking
on the leafless tree

4.
skyscrape—
a barn owl chased by a crow
over Central Park

5.
winter sun
glints off the steeple
where a crow lands

6.
in misty dawn
a crow flaps off the road
as my car approaches
