enduring the urban winter
daring the day uncovered
by way of a chaos of crows
pulling on the weather
breaking from their perches
crooking their feathered hinges
and 'carring' up the first subtle wash of light
they lift and clump to make a short migration
from the city to...? [shrug]
their flight pattern seems more of a 'wit' or a 'prank'
than a 'murder'
the sun machines to complete its horizon
tugged by the last departing birds
returning in the afternoon
with the full light provided
and messy winds to charge them
like malicious children from the playground gate
fed and joy fighting at their hierarchy
whilst in an unbattened flight
back into the city
in summer it will be the gulls
