At night, I can hear them rustle
starlings almost ready to leave the nest
signal our success, parasites
to our brooding, bloody presence
that's seen the death to many
not least the elegant snowy plover
so yes, the starling'll chirp when
a long fibula stands upright
on a sandy beach or be silent
when the long night arrives.
