Trouvee

By Elizabeth Bishop

for Mr. Wheaton Galentine & Mr. Harold Leeds

Oh, why should a hen have been run over on West 4th Street in the middle of summer?

She was a white hen --red-and-white now, of course. How did she get there? Where was she going?

Her wing feathers spread flat, flat in the tar, all dirtied, and thin as tissue paper.

A pigeon, yes, or an English sparrow, might meet such a fate, but not that poor fowl.

Just now I went back to look again. I hadn't dreamed it: there is a hen

turned into a quaint old country saying scribbled in chalk (except for the beak).

From Bishop, Elizabeth. Poems: Elizabeth Bishop. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux. 2011. 172.
