something in the attic
scratching softly

lurid glow of leaves
a crow flies off
with a dead mouse
February 17: Tracks in the snow
Kristen Lindquist
Snowshoed up Beech Hill in Rockport this afternoon with my friend Brian and his dog Jack. The trail up hadn't seen human traffic since this most recent storm. But we observed tracks of many other creatures that had left their mark on the fresh snow: coyote, snowshoe hare, squirrel, mouse, the interweaving paths of a flock of turkeys.
I step over tracks
of many turkeys, each bird
leaving its own trail.

Mouse tracks under the feeders.
I hope the birds
have been sloppy eaters.

To a cat
a dead mouse on the doorstep
is a thoughtful gift.
