A shower of starlings Splash into the feeder Overspilling upon the ground Invisible against the black soil
Until they burst like a geyser Perceptible for but a moment Swimming the currents of night Evaporating among the clouds
Reigning over us all
This article appears in Fighting Fire with Fire.

Wonderful poem
I am wondering how to submit poetry to the NCJ?
Thank you
