1. Dismay
To the dismay of ornithologists
the birds rise and flee. Starlings
startled by deep thrumming
scatter; their murmuration
disrupted, the air thickened
by the chop of rotol blades.
Facing west, the direction
of the coarse and steady drone,
the bird watcher notes, through
polished Porro prisms, that
these wings, in stern, determined
formation, are not beating.
2. Tallboys
A gleefully vindictive aggravation,
like tit-for-tat hooligan townies,
on the piss; the kind with short sleeved
shirts and Marlboros tucked under
the epaulettes, spoiling for a fight
already won. Wargasm hard-on
intimidating red rock with a battering
of Barnes Wallis’ fists.
3. Props
From the headland you can hear
the plainsong largo of white blades
tendergashing the winds for light
and battery. A stately reigen
to subvert the destruction
fashioned from Rolls-Royce/Bristol.
