Winter buzzard
1870. Grey, damp field, turned inside out,
A winter buzard in profile,
A solitary tree on wet sky, both
Ornaments along an asphalt route;
Territory of carrion, roadkill prey.
A hare cowering in cold furrows;
The head of the bird turns, but half wild;
White plumage with brown drops,
Blood and fur on poisoned soil.
