It's easy to claim courage or indifference in face of change
There was a time when that might've been true
being younger & more resilient
or just naïve enough
But these days, your voice is dented and disused
a bold whisper through fog
& dampened dust
the words flutter up weak
a common flock stirring skies
unnoticed
It's time to start counting
birds
again
