Like a bed cover of black lace
being flipped to fluff and fall even and neat
migrating black birds swoop and land in formation
blanketing open fields
They turn power lines into black pinking sheared silhouettes
In unison they take to the wing
blackening the sky with flawless formations
that lace against the dusky sky
Once again lighting in fields to eat
before covering trees for the night

Marvelous poem, Lori. One of your very best.

If they give you ruled paper write sideways.

Thank you my friend, I've been mulling the vision over in my head for a few days, pondering on the black lace.
