A Murmuration of Starlings

Like a broken cloud of tiny pieces

The sky fills up with black

But it's not an ominous crisis

But an ever-changing skyward map.

It's organic, alive, moving,

Creating ribbons which dance and flow

Each turn and twist makes art

With purpose and a journey to go.

A mass of bodies create patterns

Which changes with every ebb

A beautiful cloud of darkness

Which always turns my head.
