Twilight’s Birds

A bunch of birds 

Into the sky were cawing 

Flipping back and front against the evening wind,

Some were trying to balanced 

Unmoved. 

My heart as well as was floating higher than them 

In a hazy recollection of my past. 

But,

On the perch of leaves less winter tree 

A couple of pigeon were sitting tacit,  

The silence of the couple was 

Reminded my grandparent’s perseverance.  

Inside the rose’s tree,

A couple of sparrows were hurrying for 

Evening food... seemed like my parent

Coming back home from field… 

The quarrel of crows,

Inside the bamboo’s tree 

Retold my childhood’s freedom in the rosy twilight 

With my siblings.

Steal me from my toxic evening.
