(Monday morning, on the roof of an Oslo construction site.)
~
Seagull. Filthy peace flag screaming
His own name upon the city.
*It is I! Eater of scraps, leaver of
Droppings!
Sword beak, dagger tallons!
Anti-raven! White blood cell of
Your airborne bloodstream.
The skies would be half a chess
Board in my absence!*
I sit on the rooftop drinking water,
Listening to him echo between
Tired buildings.
Norwegian city morning.
Sunny and cold.
I watch the red of mist muffled light
On his wings as he soares towards
The bay for his fifth breakfast.
Today will be an interesting day,
I whisper to my soul as I empty the
Bottle and stand up.
A conductor tapping his baton against
His note stand, raising hands and an
Eyebrow to the orchestra.
Get your Monday in tune, and the week
Will follow accordingly.
Seagull. Filthy peace flag.
Declaring himself victorious
With his every forceless breath.
