Cool, clear nights
Loved by owls.
It was much cooler last night
Clear and bright and very windy today.
We had a roaring fire.
Burned a huge lump of our tree
It resembled a pair of shorts, still with legs inside.
While it was burning it seemed more and more
Like a blackened, treacle-coated leg of ham
As if being roasted in its glistening glaze.
Then I considered the feathered ones outside in the cold air.
Time to get the birdseed out.
