…yesterday I heard a new sound above my head
\na rustling, ruffling quietness in the spring air<\/p>\n

and when I turned my face upward
\nI saw a flock of blackbirds
\nrounding a curve I didn’t know was there
\nand the sound was simply all those wings
\njust feathers against air, against gravity
\nand such a beautiful winning
\nthe whole flock taking a long, wide turn
\nas if of one body and one mind.
