This Morning

watched the snow

blow down the bay
wondered where it started from
what would stop it

remembered last New Year's Day
a pair of eagles
standing on the ice
wind blown
snow free ice

the female tearing and eating
the brown body
dark scattering pieces

blue grey ice
like metal like a mirror
the male standing motionless

his back to her
his white head steady

looking north west
daring the wind to come back

- William J. Gibson
