Birthed into the world
without anesthesia,
shapes shift, cast shadows
on the rocks
lying in the river.
A reflection of a hawk
shimmers, distorted
by the water,
riding thermals,
hunting.

Intrusive rhyme bothers me, except as a weapon.
Intertextuality is my passion.
Formalist/ New Critical are my guiding theories.
