crows fly below us
step-by-step, a steep ascent,
above, only sky
*
poet captures words
cages them between the lines
sentence meted out
*
friendless, wandering
existing to shed tears
solitude of clouds
a secret mirror
clouds reflected in the tarn
fish dreaming of flight
*
tawny owl
cuckoo
blackbird
greater-spotted woodpecker
blue tit
great tit
robin
wood pigeon
crow
jackdaw
song thrush
greylag goose
chaffinch
yellow wagtail
pipistrelle bat
mason bee
red squirrel
midgie
woodpecker watching
squirrels chase one-another
through branches of pine
*
*
a dead lamb listens
to the yellowhammer's song
eyes plucked out by crows
