So many birds, and all of them oblivious
Dinosaur feet. And what if their own evolution spoke?
What could it say? It would have the voice of a goose,
perhaps, or softly softly pigeon. How about this one,
where the swan is set against the backdrop of a frozen lake.
Beautiful, but what is speaking? The ice, this time?
The broken bottle? The cold webbed toes of a royal white bird
tired of swimming? Or is it me, in all of them,
and my awkward frame or too-quick summing-up.
So many birds, and all of them oblivious,
and all of them just sitting there, or swimming.
I like the rhythm. :)
