PICKINGS

Poetry from NHI publications



THE WILD MAKES A COMEBACK
One recent morning
a stag hurdled
at high speed
our suburban hedges.

Yesterday
a red dog fox
took his ease
in my garden
in full daylight.

Next time
perhaps it will be
a grey wolf
or a white rhino
or piranha in the lily pond.
JOHN WARD
