Nov 21, 1976

The sun was setting level
With a rolling fog
Upon a roost
Two hawks sat
As on a log
The upper most
     dove off into space
Leaving the other
    in its place
And watched the sun sink deeper.

such an interesting little poem this is. I really enjoyed it!! That date was a few months after my first child was born.
