listening to nature : sunset crows

Birds of a Feather - a poem inspired by the sound of crows

birds of a feather in the kitchen together, 
we all share this meal,  we've made a life, a pie,
many hands in the mix

another crow homeward at the end of the day,
the sunset hour when the veils of light and shadow
blend like cake batter

your echoing cry and my wing beats together in the blender
whipped up a thick recipe
a sound pouring over us

these crows in the kitchen, a sunset parade
my daydream traveler come home to me
you live in my heart

birds of a feather in the kitchen together
what will we create next? your birthday cake?
it could be any day to celebrate your flight, your music,
your echoing call across the canyon country,
from coast to coast
​
all the crows coming home at the end of the day
we share stories, we hear ourselves in each other's words
we the family, makin' cakes
birds of a feather in the kitchen together
