Poetry: Birds

by Kimberly Richardson

Created on: November 18, 2009


To home from work.

I saw a flock of birds against a palette of grey.

Their wings, creating a wall of black, noir,

Coming alive over the city

Like a comfort

Like a plague.

I refused to be blind to what they represented

As others walked along with milky eyes given to them through their own choice.

Birds swirling, dancing, into the cold wind

Till the magic died, making them invisible.
