Wing-furled to near invisibility in the tall grass this gold-shaft flicker
in all its tawny shades is an image of camouflage concealed except
for the bloodred glimmer that is its bib and the coal-black splash
on its lower breast while all else (grass-blades and the light between)
is a picture of glitter and shadow a kinetic kaleidoscope its eyes
keep reading to know it whole the way I would see into this colour
photograph of two soldiers in camouflage battledress their slapdash
mix of tawny and bleached

Wing-furled to near invisibility in the tall grass this gold-shaft flicker 
          in all its tawny shades is an image of camouflage concealed except 
for the bloodred glimmer that is its bib and the coal-black splash 
          on its lower breast while all else (grass-blades and the light between) 
is a picture of glitter and shadow a kinetic kaleidoscope its eyes 
          keep reading to know it whole the way I would see into this colour 
photograph of two soldiers in camouflage battledress their slapdash
