THRUSHES”
“Terrifying are the attent sleek thrushes on the lawn,”
“More coiled steel than living – a poised”
“Dark deadly eye, those delicate legs”
“Triggered to stirrings beyond sense – with a start, a bounce, ”
“a stab”
“Overtake the instant and drag out some writhing thing. ”
“No indolent procrastinations and no yawning states,”
“No sighs or head-scratchings. Nothing but bounce and stab ”
“And a ravening second.””
“(Ted Hughes).
