With
morning came that sense of Fall
The hint of a shift; clear, brisk on skin
A
small song about summer passing by
Here , the mosquitoes thankfully come to an end
Small
clouds of other innocent someones
Cluster
in the yard, ruffling in the midday air
The
Hawks begin their gathering time
Calling
out, all day, greeting and preparing
And
just this evening far down in the darkened back field
Comes the yip yipping of coyotes;
they wander in closer, ancient instinctual preparation
Young
ones, older ones, nearing the season
Of
cold and hunger and the test of abilities
On
the telephone wire a crow feeds their young
One surviving; fluttering small effervescent feathers
With
their request; and as I watch
I
wonder how it is humans think that
Only
we have challenge
