Birds are nesting the world over.
Shoulder to shoulder.
Between the desert and the sea,
The sky and the land,
...
Take and tug back control
When does a butterfly
Take and tug back control.
Brutally blown this way and that
...
What shapes and frames us
Cannot contain us
For we are like butterflies on a maiden flight.
Leaping into the vast unknown
...
Where does the wind reside?
Where on Earth does it go?
Does it circle the causeway rocks?
Does it reside in County Antrim?
...
What is it with Monday morning traffic?
And it's hurly-burly psychopathic-
Panic to cut each other up and honk horns
With ferrous looks and scowling scorn
...
