ROOKS OVER AVEBURY
There must have been a score of them,
all lift-and-dip-and-fluster, beak and feather
against half-formed clouds, greybonnet winds.
 
The circled stones lay under them unnoticed,
and none of our paths relevant to their high view.
They flew, it seemed, without direction. But they flew.
