MURMURATION
Nothing that can last, only this
vast enchantment,
This breaking through – the sudden shifts
and turns, torrents
Of light and dark unerringly
expanding, now
Dissolving – stark asymmetry
revealing how
What vanishes returns. These are
the magi, drawn
To ancient practice, journeyed far,
still moving on.
