    Blodwen
One man claimed
“I love you”
As triple moons
Waxed and waned
Into her radiant child

Who was stolen away
While papers were signed.

She’s been kept
Close confined

As decades crawl by

She draws owls
On the walls

And goes out of her mind.

  Also by McCann:

Roadkill

After what seems like
Milepost intervals :
Possum,
Porcupine,
A back broken snake
Still rolling,
Crow mixed in with rabbit,
Somebody’s cat,
There’s a fanfare blood trail
Introducing a stag,
One antler snapped,
Head twisting back,
Pink guts fly sucked and blackening.

Cars slow up.

Windows roll down.

Mouths open.

And just a minute
Further on
Is a skunk
In the sagebrush,
Flattened scent bag potent,
Split and spilling wide...
