Only they know
how to live in
this world now.
How to be truly
alive; starlings,
scrap and jostle,
dragging young ones
along, observing adults
surviving, so that
they too will survive.
Segued into an
unseen world, or
unlooked for,
a motley crew
of creatures, rats,
pigeons and them,
always just
out of eyeshot,
but there, beating
us at life.
Free to wind
and element, food
provided, shelter
and sanctuary in
noisy animated
groups, inteligent,
prolific, untameable.

love this
and was thinking a similar thought last night, listening to some treed night callers demand attention, while watching some rowdy kittens playing tag-a-tail

I must agree with Margherita here
