the be good tanyas - the coo coo bird
architecture in helsinki - the owls go
further seems forever - snowbirds and townies
brokeback mountain - the wings
the dirty birds - the dirty birds
sylvia plath - black rook in rainy weather
rogue wave - bird on a wire
the be good tanyas - the littlest birds
It was like the moment when a bird decides not to eat
from your hand,
and flies, just before it flies, the moment the rivers seem
to still
and stop because a storm is coming, but there is no
storm, as when
a hundred starlings lift and bank together before they
wheel and drop,
very much like the moment, driving on bad ice, when it
occurs to you
your car could spin, just before it slowly begins to spin,
like
the moment just before you forgot what it was you were
about to say,
it was like that, and after that, it was still like that, only
all the time.
