World full of trouble
but Planet keeps on
keeping small things
bird on a wire cheeping
in bright sun lit
& in their nest upon the hydro
pole eaglets squall
hidden still
grey mother hovering
male's aloof white head
impervious to cries & traffic noise
gazing out upon the river
bridge fields the small
running food to come
(Grand River, Cambridge Ontario)

God be with you, my dears. You keep
the old bugger. I shan't be needing him!
