Poetry: Storms

by Elisabeth Long

Created on: November 09, 2009

Hawk in the Snow Storm


Feathered mirage of dim-sighted repose

this high god

bends brittle limb.

In quiescent scrutiny

masked by windswept down

he clutches, white-knuckled

the shivering branch.

Far below as observer, I envy,

the captive, blurred behind panes, frosted thick;

straining for clearer perception

seeking that better view

struggling for vision

beyond.
