Symmetry of a Bird

The Symmetry of a Bird’s Call

Imagine each person is a bird–

sit down in a crowded public area

spot a crow, a raven, a nightingale, a lark, and a robin

hear the sound of their footsteps as birdsong

compose lyrics to accompany their twittering melodies.

Sing: song ; unfurl: feathers

never return to that public area.
