roadside windhover,
head motionless, while body
rides the wind and rain.

oblivious to traffic,
senses alert and focused.

sitting, observing:
silent on a chimney pot,
crow watches the world.

on bus stop windows,
infinite variety.
ice crystal lichen,

Tettenhall rock trees,
branches against foggy sky.
ink on wet paper.

low late winter sun,
suburban El Dorado,
golden light on glass.

double jeopardy:
dog shit frozen on pavement,
slipping on skid marks.
