In the city,
Drab, lanky shadow
Slips between parked cars,
Competes with gulls and crows
By toppled rubbish bins,
Emerging silently
Under street-light sulphur,
Leaching rust from fur.
In the country,
Rich russet lustre
Cavorts in lush green fields,
Barking at gulls and crows
Under a canopy
Of sunset and cloud,
Burnished copper bright
In the rosy light.
