A hoary wind spits frost crystals that dazzle and blur the sight.
Boney fingers of bare deciduous wood, scratch against the eaves
as the stranger's tread crackles...

Put Them Out of Sight NowLay down your old ink pen...
Rise from the table...
Push back your chair.
Gather them all up...
Put them out of sight now...

Strung tightly together
With thin white string;

Magpie.
Mule deer.
Mustang, colt, mustang...upon the ridge.
Eagle's nest, bald.
Oreo cows, in far field.
Running baby cows.

Felled branch...100 mph winds.
Controlled burn, left quiet;
but not, as it turned out,
without embers enough
to catch to flames
and race up the Sierra,

And he only wears one shoe.

Birdman was his name,
But now he can...
