decisions on where

By Mimsy Farquhar

the crows filled my yard last night
just before the sun was sinking
below the horizon’s furthest edge
the unintelligible cacophony
of a thousand beaks cawing–
none appearing to listen to the other
until one lifted off
wheeling over the space and away
the rest following freely
destination unknown, but somehow
knowing that where they were
was not where they were meant to be.
