kestrals

klee klee klee 
these small falcons 
claimed home high in a spruce on the yard 

klee klee klee
curved beak between close set beaded eyes 
raying through my upturned cranium tilted up 

klee klee klee 
another joins ruffling brown feathers 
mating or fighting can’t tell 

klee klee klee 
fills air all other sounds from trees 
bow in silence 
as they hunt 
for grasshoppers or mice 
diving down to prairie grass 

klee klee klee 
and this is what we do 
watch listen
in this yard 
our invasion into leafy buggy living eco 
figuring out the 
klee klee klee
