hawk

I lie back on blanket
in the shadow of house
and gaze up into infinity of blinding blue

stillness of day enters being
absorbing warmth as part of
curve of earth’s surface

high above hawk soars on heated updrafts
so high that I can barely make it out
as it circles and dips and climbs
an exchange lifts me into sky
and I look down to see man on blanket
and we become tied forever

even though I disappear
on a warm current of blue
