Bird Funeral Part I

I witnessed a bird 

Funeral yesterday. 

A rabbit attended too –  

I kid Not.  I heard the thump 

On the big window, 

Pedernal off to the right. 

I could not bare to look

As they all gathered 

Round – midair. Reminding

Me of treading water. Or

Like a dance in January – 

Cairo. A fortnight too

Many, ago. 

Brown & Blue Birds – Chirping 

Wildly. Wings, fluttering in the 

Evening sky, took to the 

Juniper – Perching

Like ornaments. The 

Rabbit, still close by. 

A video or a photo

In this moment felt

Sacrilege. An intrusion

Into one of Life’s most

Precious gifts, 

The Bird Funeral.
