I was digging holes in a plot of soil Rooting out tangleweed She had found a frog, was herding it about me Was dribbling it between her feet And it let off a noise - shrill, loud, sustained About as far from a 'ribbit' as a tin whistle a bassoon She weaved it shrieking round a gauntlet of clump grass and thistle And I felt sick to see the glee on her face, so I acted By scaring her away with a shuffle of my foot Scooping the harassed amphibian on my spade I tossed it into a nearby bush And left it up to God Then I moved from tangleweed, started on Alpinum seeds Then she caught a bird for me I think it was a blue tit Pale breasted, round, petite Specks of blood on its feathers She dropped it on my lavenders Where it lay near-motionless Only on closer inspection Did I notice its small, round beak Opening and closing weakly - very quiet She had crushed its throat in her jaws Rendering throat useless as an air duct Which meant that the blue tit was suffocating While she, in fascination, looked And I found this quite distressing So I trod as hard as I could on the blue tit's head A sort of mercy killing - a quicker death And though it took two stomps to crush it dead My hope is it pipped suffocation Because that was the intention I went black inside, feeling pretty sordid The blue tit was suffocating. It made my day morbid So I went back inside and had a cup of tea
