Composition With Birds

1 min read
a black-and-white photo of a huge flock of birds taking off over a wide open field with cows grazing, and hills in the background

they encircled the world with barbed wire
the heart beating behind the windowpane

but we my brothers will sing to them
to the colored braids the square ribbons

beyond the crumbs and the round eyes
and beyond the predatory alien fingers

we will keep for them in our trembling beaks
a drop of love until the end of the world
