Kenmare Thrush Poem by Una Woods

Kenmare Thrush



The fragile thrush
prickling with existence
dusk's camouflage, a silent glow-worm
spreads on the damp grass
from unearthly still to little startled hops
then as if by a trick of the third eye the thrush has flown and
imperceptibly darkness is there
for a moment the immensity of things sits frozen then observation, the resort of human dwelling
moves away from the window

We have song thrushes at my local lake, and they sing too but people don't hear.
