Poetry Friday: Dark Birds


All the dark birds,
but one,
rush from the river
leaving only the stillness
of their language.

                 -- Anita Endrezze, Yaqui

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this quiet poem. It made me think of written language as birds gathering on a page.

Ah, no Mary Lee. Not mine. I need to photograph some birds on water for my image collection!

Thanks for stopping by everyone . . .
