Waiting for the shot

Mournful in the stubble field,  
shining black and golden beaks  
cold late sun  glistening  barrels,  
orange cartridges, silent on the ground  
a panting dog waiting for the 'fetch'
drifting smoke and lead,
Country sport raw in tooth and claw.  
 
A life-time now, alone and silent.  
Shining black and golden beak.  
Away she flew, dazed and careless  
to the lonely wood,waiting for the shot  
which did not come.
