Crying over you

Crossing the bridge 
 
The Red-shouldered Hawk bisects my view,
hovers in winds stirring the river.
 
The hawk conjures a storm,
rustles crows out of crouched oaks.
Her wing frills a cloud, beats sky into steel.
 
For too many seconds light burdens her back,
presses her lower until she grazes
the loping river’s surface.
 
I am drawn to her as though we share
something material.
 
My eye trails her flight to an unattainable point.
She becomes invisible; a sun at dusk.
