steel heron
waits by stone bowl
filled with rain
Sewn
the spider’s thread
with tensile strength of steel
stitches dawn to day
Raptor
A steel bird of prey
scours the landscape
hunting abandoned cars.
Railroad Tie
Steel and oak.
Strength at rest.
Endurance is often silent.
Steel Goat
Glimmering in the sun.
Bewildering birds.
Hungering for fenders.
