THE TALES TOLD BY BIRDS
( for Shyam )

The civilisation of the birds
will prevail

and they will tell their eggs
storiesΒ Β about how

the humans
nearly destroyed the earth

and how now they only survive
in the stories that birds tell

to frighten
their little hatchlings

who don't really believe
that such creatures

could ever have
existed.
