Old Crow
under a thin moon / in love’s absence
R S Thomas: The Way of It
Or maybe this was
the way of it
maybe she saw
the rainbow radiance
sheening the wings
or lusted
for a sword sharp bill
an anthracite eye
maybe she longed
for a high branched haven
the clasp of a horned claw
or – as a woman will
under whatever moon –
she glimpsed you
lit and shining
and took you for hers
