from a barn swallow's point- of- view

from a barn swallow's point- of- view

 

 

cocktails and sparrows' nests

high in the air

beaks rise

glasses tip

the flock is tipsy

 

flying backwards into stilted conversation

the martinis extra dry

the flapping of lips

it's a small world

within the crevasses

of those fancy glasses

 

and napkins of superior expression.

I think the barn swallow has excellent insight. I see much height in this piece and superiority. A visual write J.
