Red Kite

Red Kite

We walked in the woods ,
There was a red kite 
Mobbed by crows .
Plastic bag 
Rattling
On the hawthorne
Dogshit on the 
Treads of 
A small pair of shoes .
But we walk on 
Into the sunlight 
Wash ourselves down
And don’t look back.
Another time will
Come 
We will make 
A different day.

Trout

The river runs clear
The snow has gone
The bank behind me
Starts to crack in the sun
I can see the trout
And the trout 
Can see me .
