Occasionally, We See

Occasionally, We See

Life in the forest
A solemn blanket

Covering us
From the outside world

Our happiness

Enveloped in the shade

Until one day

We look up

The blanket pulled away

Reveals potential

Unimagined

'Til this very moment

They Fly At Night

They Fly at Night

And no one sees

No one knows

No one cares, virtually 

We fly at night
Sometimes

Carefully navigating

Dimly lit forms

Finding our way

Eventually

No one sees

No one knows

The City

The City

Never stops breathing

Never stops moving

Although
If you wake at 4:00 a.m.

And visit a location

It can be still

For a moment

Crow's Delight

The assembly cries out

Where will we strike next?

Whose misfortune

Will become our bidding?

We are many
Impatient, biting, among the flock

Loud voices

Our song

Deceptive theater

For prey identified

Gathers acquiesced determination

Molding the whole

Fence Posts

Keep me out

Keep me in
Prison guards
Splintered shards

Yell Fire!

When the forest catches fire
We scream and perspire
When the sky catches fire
It becomes our desire
