Hawks 1, Chihuahua 0

ABC News August 8 2003 Feathers Ruffled....

Pigeons two-step Carara marble.

Lunching tourists throw scraps
snap Manhattan wildlife
pewter clad with iridescent feathers.

Muddled city fathers host a huddle
recruit hawks for falcon training
pit them against those city bred.

Homing in on strutting pigeons,
hawks attack like Mormon crickets
move on aim for bigger prey.

Chihuahua noses beneath a bush
tasty near-rodent attracts hunters
...yips and cries to screaming master.

Hawks' first error fouls the game
articulated coaches haul jeering crowds
away from New York's novel sport.

Pigeons two-step Carara marble.

motorboat
planes the indigo
waking waves from sleeping water

Paradox

the patron saint of criminals
calls forth the ides of hell and

angels churned from milky whey
spill across horizon’s line

hieroglyphics prick the night
each close re-draws a dawning

infinity begins
where gray covers black and

a white slice of moon on a string
spins the shape of absence

past climbs over the future
on the stairsteps of Escher

carved in time, marquee'd by light
