John Kinsella : And Everyone Gathered In Objection Yet Again | |
| |
for Robert Adamson And suddenly there was a presence, as if it were worth something, the pylons sticking up out of the water like busted bones out of flesh. A waterbird landed but didn't make much of an impression - a damp squib by comparison - though a couple of old timers couldn't take their eyes off it. Bloody voyeurs somebody muttered, and the bird, as if taking offence on their behalf, lifted and vanished into the confident glow of the poem, the crowd encrypting itself into the scene's diffident colouration, troughed and crested like the hum of the current. |
