Sundown
And a million zebra finches descend on a bush
Beaks
Vibrant
Twittering the news of the day
Delicate
Feet gripping
War-torn branches
Iridescent
Plumage
Like a colour wheel
Eyes
Black-ringed
Beady
Inquisitive
Wings akimbo
Fracas on the foliage
Sudden start
Take flight
A uniform mass of colour
Wheeling to the sky
Zebra finch (Poephila guttata)
Native to Australian grassland.
Imported to the Barbican Arts Centre in London for an Art installation with guitars. Strange but true. I didn't want to write about the installation. I'd much rather imagine them in their native habitat. Exchanging news as they prepare to rest.
About Me
- JKY
- I'm a mass of contradictions but in a good way I think. I like active and passive pursuits in equal measure. I rarely watch TV and I like to educate myself where I can. I like inspiring and being inspired.
