While Watching Swifts

It was while tracing
the arc
and the twist
of swifts
with his naked eye
across a
still and salmon pink
September sky
when out
of the blue, it dawned
on him ..

Just stunning Nev, I have a passion for watching starlings not that I see them often and when I do I'm usually driving. They entrance me...they are dangerous creatures and should be banned whilst I'm driving... as should I whilst they fly!!! That's why I loved these poetic thoughts of yours...just hope you weren't driving when you had them 😆 x
