on a shiny night you
wear
and thrive in #'s (almost)
everywhere
Mozart taught you to sing
everything
recite poetry
and greet those
who stumble in
you are precious
to me
yet so hated
they patented your name
for poison
and raged
Starlicide
now
half of
what you were
your murmurations
still
smoke the sky
just not here
this year
my darling
Starling
