Two Hawks Aloft

Two hawks aloft

crows anxious banding together

Carol Ott comes over to my house, likes the warm weather, November

a California Christmas and maybe species will change places to reflect that,

paints watercolor ornaments, gentle Jewish lady

how far from her past is she now? or is she quite aware just not talking

      about it now

I wonder what she thinks the solution to Israel-Palestine might be

ask her sitting around the pool next summer

almost always disappointed people haven't given the single state solution

      more thought

we discuss Thanksgiving, the cleaning and cooking before and the

      cleaning after, then the insane Christmas potlatch

deciduous trees have a special winter beauty, conifers among them.
