Lyrics
Tying to bask in brief apricity under quilts the aunties made
Furnace is still and helpless taking a break from hot air
Living room heirloom window whispering arctic adoration
(I look through the glass)
Hawk perched in a bare tree
Red round eye circling me
Frosted frame won’t look away from the thorny honey-locust
Branches shiver as rays tabby weave around the pattern
Long-distance weakened warming barely breaks through
(I guess we could both use more motivation)
Hawk perched in a bare tree
Red round eye circling me
Easier seen in winter, January offers no place to hide
“What omen are you? Do you bring luck or wealth, confidence or coincidence?”
It tilts its head / Hawks watch till their prey looks away
Hawk perched on a bare tree
Red round eye in front of me
