Its quiet stealth
full of surprises
for human spies
cottontail blur
dashing always
toward safe cover
except for once
black-footed fox
absolutely silent
sauntering
through grassy lawn
red-tailed hawk
on high-pine perch
anticipating
birdbath visits
pair of coyotes
pop-up figures
in alfalfa field
feasting on voles
doe with three fawns
daily apparition
performing
white-tailed ballet
great horned owl
massive shadow
skewering a skunk
beneath our window
smaller screech kin
sunning, sleeping
on front porch
of winter hole
nature’s quiet stealth
slipping on and off the stage
with occasional screams.
