NIGHT POACHERS
Full moon
bold as a cry,
clean as new ice.
Two men running
noiseless across
frozen fields.
Gin traps in
canvas bags
rattle like teeth.
They fall laughing
in clouds into
the lee of a wall.
A dog barks;
a man calls.
The sounds curl away.
The men sleep
wrapped around
their prey
like lovers.
