The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for June 2004


thinking
of the red-tail
hawk
    watching the
    tour
perched
above in
the centen
arian white-
fringe tree

(Chionanthus
virginicus
103)

tightly
framed
the painting
constrained by
dark
wood and
a girdle
of linen

shimmed into
place

the space
still speaks

the mirror
lusters through

(Buteo jamaicensis
lifts his rusty
tail

lookout
below)
