A Mouse that Hesitates

When the blackbird calls three notes
From the railway bridge and the evening air trembles
As though a hand has plucked it like a string
The lights of houses coming on cast shadows
Across walls and bushes, fences, sheds and trees
And in one garden a tomcat silently creeps
Over the lawn towards a Mouse that hesitates.
