BY MY WINDOW

 

they flapped and perched easily 

latch by my window sill 

the landing flap brushed my curtain a bit 

sending a ripple in the sheet 

they stare slowing through the glass 

wanting to make a statement 

are they staring to catch a glimpse of me?

or wants to admire their beauty

one spanned its wings and it shine beautifully

flapped wide open like a wanting hug

turned around and stare at the open street 

whistled a bit then burped 

by my window

they sing sweet songs of melody 

their tweeting was so sonorous 

it sounded like heavenly choirs

they gesticulate in all manners 

jive and waltz in carefree 

freedom was theirs without bondage 

by my window, I saw what humanity has lost
