"Deep Powerful Wingbeats"

" Deep Powerful Wingbeats "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Deep powerful wingbeats
occurring casually
once nearly extinct

calling a weak, "aw-aw"
dipping and dabbling
fresh and brackish

straggling across borders
short whistling calls
upon coming ashore

much paler
perching on forked branches
crab apple American ash

widely planted
favorable habitats
clear advantages

nutrients water
canopies of leaves
releasing seeds

forces of gravity
life-giving
infant trees...
