The Poetry Of Michelle
            Angelini


            


            Red-Tailed Hawk-- a diamante


            
fledglings,

            young, dependent,

            learning, swooping, feeding

            parents teach me to catch my food-

            watching, diving, killing

            kinetic, swift

            adults
