On more kite watching

Kites still sky dancing
More a tango than a waltz
red bronze feathers flare

The hills are made invisible by an evening mist.
Against this a kettle of five hawks,
three red kites and two buzzards,
spiral in the diffused golden light,
unhurried, synchronised, perfect.
It is a moment of poetry,
of passion  and perfection
that I am privileged to witness.

watched by three red kites
old ewe struggles over snow
winter’s last cruel throw
