Instax wide photo by author, Lake Georgetown

The hawk circled, high
above the surface of the lake
seaching with a patient eye

Wings hunting from the sky
keen for a glimps of bubble or break
the hawk circled high

Effortlessly riding the dry
Jnauary wind, high stakes
searced with a patient eye

Quarry hiding sly
at the edge of the junipers will make
the hawk circle high

Blue on blue, water, sky
mirror on mirror, sunlight glinting, shaking,
searching with a patient eye

Where silent sentinels stand by
mired sunken by invading lake
the hawk circled high
searching with a patient eye

Thanks for reading!
