the birds
they twitter
and tumble
over each other,
into the grass.

forget-me-not flowers
masking their faces,
with their bright blue clumps
amongst green grass blades

the birds,
they sing,
and stumble,
over tree roots,
falling into the grass.

dead leaves brown,
camouflaged behind the new growth,
of the green grass blades,
where the birds stumble into life,
as they fly over the ground,
making stuttered landings,
fluttered within the shelter of the flowers
