For Hannah. <br /> <br />Before settling for the evening <br />A cock pheasant <br />Hammers in staves of sound. <br /> <br />Then applauds himself. <br /> <br />After a pause <br />Smaller birds <br />Trellis the in-between spaces.<br /><br />Seamus Hogan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/territory-3/
