Down the path
Away from the road,
Bustle of the highway
Cold of winter
Catch of air
Crunch of snow
Snap of branch
A burst of downy wings
Festooned the ground
A vole track
Ended abruptly
Impressions
Catches of light and shadow
The beat of predator feathers
Pressed
Thrust into the crust
Arc of
Feathers
Captured in the coating –
Fingers,
Hands scooping
A pile of leaves
For bagging
Frozen image
Fleeting, under melting
Life and death
Of the road
Down the path
