A Ghazal About Birds Gaze out the window, and take eyefuls of the birds living their lives, speaking to unknown birds. Listen closely to the song that they sing, to the sky. They are calling for others, the lone birds. Flock to me, feathered friends, and witness my transformation: woman to overgrown bird. I dream of flight, broken bones too heavy to hold me; I am no windblown bird. Clouds ripple in the mirror, shamefully gray with thunder that drowns out the baritone birds. A raven's cry, hoarse throated caw. It comes from above, gargoylesque, reminds me of great stone birds. Tit-for-tat, tippy-tap on the glass, talon scratch - the melody of the tritone birds. Grasswhistle flowing over the plains, punctuated by the crackling of ozone birds. Wind's heralds, or an army of angry banshees: either way made up of coop-flown birds. With a name like Melody, how could I ever resist the most musical of creatures, the whistle-tone birds?
