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.
