sparrow in the eaves
facia,
falling from the roof
a nest in the framing
the scent of cedar
long posts, planks and two-by-fours
sparrows gather on the fence
the laundry pole, rusting
dark-green paint flaking in the sun
sparrows huddle
in the cross pipe
sparrows rush the ledge
breadcrumbs on the windowsill
Kitty behind the glass
pallets stacked in rows
piles of burlap,
empty sacks
sparrows
on the loading dock
garage door closing
baby sparrow in the dark
trembling and thirsty
battered little bird
cannot see the window pane
flying to the light
synchronicity
shadows dart across the sun
a flight of sparrows
sparrows taunt the hawk
gray-brown,
feathered bombers
slip the raptor's claws
