A dun-coloured falcon just soared
thru here, three feet off the yard.
A yard high and half the yard across,
then out of sight past the corner hedge
of the screened-in porch. I didn't hear
her paralyzing cry, so
maybe she wasn't bun-hunting. If she was,
of course I wish her luck.

The use of the British spelling of "coloured" and the American misspelling of "thru" are both deliberate.
However, since I can't well articulate what effect is being aimed for, I can only cite a strong but vague feeling that "it had to be that way," the fact the choice was deliberate doesn't necessarily do me any credit.
