Twilight; and swifts fly screaming round the chestnut trees
in mad careers of hairpin bends and loop-the-loops.
High up, a solo buzzard in panoptic ease
describes a wider circle, notices, and stoops.
The house is full of insects, arrived by accident
Through open doors and windows,
Up drainpipes, between floorboards, down the chimney.
Twilight; and swifts fly screaming round the chestnut trees
in mad careers of hairpin bends and loop-the-loops.
High up, a solo buzzard in panoptic ease
describes a wider circle, notices, and stoops.
