Atavism by Joseph Helminski

A hawk slipped off
a hickory branch

in that moment
I could not think

of the word hawk
or hickory

the bird falling
gliding upward



Joseph Helminski teaches English at Oakland Community College near Detroit. His poems have been published in The Tulane Review, Olentangy Review, Sweet Tree Review, Eunoia Review, Assisi, and Great Lakes Review.
