Blackbirds and a Red Kite


The Blackbird

The hedge brambling bird
Quietly picks a path through
Tangled branch and fruit


On finding a blackbird, unexpectedly

Bright eye catches mine
Yellow-bladed beak and claw
Daggers drawn, retreat!


Red Kite

Caught in the willows 
A call hollows out the wind
Crying solitude
