Murmuration of Mind and Tongue


how can it be     

 

            as the mind moves the tongue 

 

    moves      

 

 

 

somewhere near the flock a falcon

 

     is   (the flock

 

loses no information)  

 

 

 

How can it be

 

thousands of birds      

 

how can it be     at a time

 

                    turning

 

 

 

wing and wing   (the mind

 

of a country) at one time

 

thinking.
