Pine Poem by Barry Middleton

Pine



a solitary pine
stands in the palmetto

the far away sun
is warming me

I see a red-tailed hawk
low in search of prey

and finding none
it lights upon my tree

and lighting there
as I have happened by

the scene is absolute
a pine a man a bird

it does occur to me
that I might be the pine

that I might be the bird
who's looking back at me

the sun is watching too
but does not speak
