Flit, flit, flit

by Martin Shone

flit, flit, flit
gone so fast

flit
twitch of angled tail feather

flit
gone so fast

tiny
hidden in hawthorn
delicate
a midget roly-poly feathered ping-pong ball

sticky legs with twiggy toes
piercing beak
piercing voice

flit, flit, flit
gone so fast

    The small birds in our hedge are gone so fast, as you say.
