As one, a murmuration of starlings ~ Tuesday, April 28, 2026

As one, a murmuration of starlings

As Stone Fox sits deep in meditation
silent and motionless, no skin to scratch

one with direct experience and mind
nothing to gain, total abnegation
essentially, one with deep time, a bird

a falling starre, Lucifer, Goe, and catche

mission accomplished, but what did you find
understanding empty as the blue sky
remember, all events connect, the word
murmurations of starlings, beauty found
ugliness, the grotesque, as a mindset
relinquish duality, none are bound
aesthetic incarnation, to regret
tick bites after the deer, do not ask why
in wavelengths, the brain oscillates, pink noise
outside versus inside, show the difference
neurons snap like fingers, the length to span

orchids like ballet dancers, full of poise
forgiven their silence, vultures and wolves

stare, empty, hungry ghosts, nothing makes sense
take a look at the sky, starlings to scan
artistic randomness, controlled chaos
remember Stone Fox sits, listens for hooves
lightning and thunder, many miles away
in an instant, suddenly, temples burn
necessary to get up, to flee, to say
given the house is on fire, to learn
starlings suffer winter full of pathos
