Murmuration
Those birds move in one organ
and the eye is another.
The flock swells into a great, brief
architecture. Naked tree
goes inside to pray. In
evening. In spirelight. In, all you
looking for order.
Furls like a hand rounding
some other’s wrist, softly.
In thousands, what myth—
what trick of the light.
