Hawk Tower


Hawk Tower

Where nothing is made to order
and everything falls apart,
myriad discoveries spiral westward,
dancing with the eyes of a hawk,
murmering feathery evasions,
sending waves up thrusting to fall
against this coast.

Here, I shall build with the compressed
history of boulders of rock and raptor
round a pillar of whirling words.
