When I leave the Department
the sky is a black swirl of rooks
and the sound of their flight fills my head.
On this evening, after a day of rain,
the sky is milky grey
and I stand in the car park, watching.
It makes my heart ache a little,
this ending of another day,
and I wait until the flight ends,
my face turned up against the wetness of the air.

lovely...
It is true the winter is coming but cheer yourself with thoughts of warm fires, thick soups and snuggly woollens to wear. Not to mention the ever closer prospect of spring!
ReplyDeleteI watched the rooks strutting in the supermarket car park yesterday Alice and was filled with the same sort of feelings
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's OK to stop and be a feel a little melancholy.
ReplyDeleteLittlest pointed out about a trillion birds on wires strung up to a building the other day. They were astounding. There were so many of them, so evenly spaced, I'd thought they were part of the structure.
ReplyDeleteSunday morning. The sky is grey and wet and I'm supposed to run 10Km in this???
ReplyDeleteBonkers.
(my word verification is 'coper'... will I cope?)
There is something just so lovely about the way that large groups of birds fly together
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for linking to the Helio Sequence. This may be the beginning of a new obsession...
Beautiful!
