Cold overcast morning
the neighborhood, no one dares
to get out of bed.
Overhead
thrum of rubber bands—
wings of Canada geese.
Autumn forest
scat, paw prints, hollowed out hives
but never the bear!
I will read poems about local flora and fauna including poems from my project called Plea for Wildlife about the endangered species in Del Norte County.
