Black Shadow and White Hawk

Today the river is still, shadows crossing it like hand puppets on a movie screen.

An arrowhead on the river reveals an airplane above.

A helicopter casts a fast-moving dragon fly down on the water.

A honey-colored hawk with a white breast and stomach nips past my window and heads towards the bridge, disappearing until she shows up again in contract against the black stripe of shadow, a finish line stretched from east bank to west, just waiting for the rest of the pack to catch up.
