Misty

.
Misty bank morning

Owl cries, last call
beyond the trees to warm barn loft

kestrel takes in the updraft
crossing valley floor
setting his sights
momentary glance is all
before the swoop and kill

Waters edge, cool to touch
making ripples
echoing outwards
till at rest
swimming with fishes

Kingfisher and his rare appearance overhead
underneath my last.
