Thread of the Warp and Weave
She catches a radio-collared shrew,
the first link in the food chain
thread of the warp. Closing her eyes
the nocturnal nighthawk lands
on the plank board bridge.
Her head twits, side to side
as she’s keeping look-out
in the gooseberry bush stiffens
as I walked closer, swaying she sang
music of the blind.
