STARLINGS

The Hawk West Desk Window 3:30pm
The Flock of Starlings careening
around Our House like schools of fish
during Eliza’s Arrival
settled on The Wires as She left
adding dimension to A Line
and a song to The Wind

There’s a delicious hint of Gerard Manley Hopkins in this for me – his windhover as Christ -too much for us starlings.
Lovely. Thank You.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I looked up The Windhover. I had not heard of Hopkins though my husband has read him.
